lyrics

You're grinding your life away you shred it with pride
A slave to your schedule with no time to ask why
Your mommy always told you, invoked some creeper in the sky
Work hard so you can work, and keep on working 'till you die

So you get home way too late and you turn on your tv
Watching ads for shit you don't need but want others to see
And the big gang's propaganda telling you they're going green
And you're too washed out and fed up to give a thought to what it means

(pre-chorus)
Slow the fuck down!
I don't have time to think!

Yeah, you think you're so much better than the ones who have time
But your hard earned gains wind up in organized crime
You might scoff at the junkies in the prisons and the streets
But you're addicted to workohol and you’re barely on your feet

They said that time would help this problem but that's clearly now a lie
I'm looking back on the ages, and see the hours multiply
The forests fall the rivers drain before our very eyes
To feed the fires of industry we're blackening the skies

You tell me that i'm lazy and I say you're just a fool
If you weren't afraid of dreaming then you'd probably think so too
I understand, we work to live but you go far beyond
This is far from what you need, because you worship work as God

(pre-chorus)
(chorus)

Get outta that suit
It don't mean success
All your wealth bought is false friends
And not an ounce of rest
And by the time you see your waste
You're gonna wise up far too late
