Wax Poet - Work For Hire Lyrics

If I'm getting paid
Am I living free?
Can I seize the day
If I need to eat? Oh no
Paycheck pipedream, welcome home
Am I safe here? Yes and no
Second nature, here we go
Put my bones into the fire
Break my body on a work for hire
Put my bones into the fire
Break my body on a work for hire
It's a funny way to keep our working bodies on their own
Have us sell them by the hour, work our fingers to the bone
It's the hegemony telling us that work will set us free
With a boot across the throat to say it's how it's gonna be, yeah
Paycheck pipedream, welcome home
Am I safe here? Yes and no
Second nature, here we go
Put my bones into the fire
Break my body on a work for hire
Put my bones into the fire
Break my body on a work for hire
Given the time it takes
Given the time it takes you
Just a little money made
Any little fall can break you
Given the time it takes
Given the time it takes to
Given what you need to make
Any little fall can break you
If I put my head down
If I work a little bit longer
Will I be on firm ground
With my head out of the water?
If I put my head down
If I work a little bit longer
Will I be on firm ground
With my head out of the water?
Given the time it takes
Given the time it takes you
Just a little money made
Any little fall can break you
Given the time it takes
Given the time it takes to...
