Faithless Lyrics

Man and his mind, they're mortal enemies

In this for life, ain't no remedies

Listen outside, listen to the melodies

All I hear are screams, all the tragedies

Voices in my head, while my eyes only see red

If you saw what I saw, you'd wish that you were dead

Every day, like the old man said

The world feeds off of everybody's debt

Crazy how we judge each other by our salaries

That messes with my head, why can't I be happy?

I give it all I got, and I get "that's not too shabby"

When the rich boy struggles he just go home, calls his daddy

Ask him for a check, I'm just askin' for respect

Money shouldn't matter, but what do you expect?

Talkin' 'bout it here got me all inside my head

Like the first line, a man's enemy is his mind

I know it shouldn't matter

I know it shouldn't matter

A check or respect

I should take the ladder

Man and his mind, they're mortal enemies

In this for life, ain't no remedies

Listen outside, listen to the melodies

All I hear are screams, all the tragedies

Voices in my head, while my eyes only see red

If you saw what I saw, you'd wish that you were dead

Every day, like the old man said

The world feeds off of everybody's debt

We live in a time where we all should be free

But we're prisoners of our mind, c'mon and take the plea

An entire life sentence of corporate fuckin' work

Or three years on the grind, writin' on the four-four

Every day I look into the mirror

Every day got my finger on the trigger

Every day they say "cry me a river"

Every day, they just don't see the picture

Materialist bullshit

Cuban link goldsmith

Jordan three retrofits

Louis V outfits

Private jet cockpits

Rich fucker grandkids

Emotionless hypocrites

Entitlement sophisticates

I know it shouldn't matter

I know it shouldn't matter

A check or respect

I should take the ladder

I should take the ladder

I should take the ladder

I should take the ladder
