about

Our first song to be released from our upcoming Album "Everything Breaks Down"
The music for this track was never intended to become a Before Stories track (too jumpy ken) but we did it and it's amazing, enjoy.

lyrics

Lyrics

The most demoralising thing that I've ever done is live a jobless life
Every rejection slowly twisting the knife
Forget who you were, forget all your dreams
You'll learn what bare survival means
You're nothing but a burden to the tax payer now

We're here to remind you you're scum
We crack the whip while you run
The longer it goes, the harder it gets
Redemption feels so far away
No one wants you, so we make endless rejection
your new occupation.

Anything to make the nightmare go away

Payments in poverty and poor health
Your worth as a human should never be as much as your wealth
We won't make this job easy
As if being scraping by isn't hard enough

Why do I need a degree to work in a shop
5 years experience required on all entry level jobs
Tell me all your strengths and weaknesses
But only quote the best ones you found on the Internet being honest will get you nowhere here sat opposite people who left school with O grades trying to figure out if you're qualified enough to wait tables.

Anything to make this nightmare go away
Anything for minimum wage
Brought down by guilt, uncertainty with no vision for the future
Surviving day by day in such a way that everything seems to go wrong
