The daily grind

[Intro]

WAKE UP. SMILE. CONSUME. REPEAT.
THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW.

[Verse 1]

The alarm went off, I buried my head,
Built a fake little smile for the life that I led.
Drank the bitter black coffee, put the suit on tight,
Then the screen split open like a wound in the night.

No weekends, no pauses, no goddamn sound,
Just a shadow of debt that is swallowing ground.
The blue light hit the street where my spirit stood,
I was screaming for help while I drowned in the hood.

[Pre-Chorus]

Sha-boom, sha-boom, sha-da-bop-bop-bop,
The clocks are ticking, baby, and they never stop,
Oh-oh-oh, what a beautiful day,
To watch your own soul just fade away.

[Chorus]

THE DAILY GRIND!
(doo-wop, doo-wop)
FIRE IN THE MIND!
(sha-boom, sha-boom)
THE DAILY GRIND!
NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE!
They came for the hours
Deep under our skin,
To harvest our youth
And lock it within!

[Verse 2]

The suits walked in where our dreams used to stand,
Crushed every hope like a paper cup in a hand.
I saw a brother sell his passion just to pay,
The neon lights turned his bright eyes into grey.

Our bosses bark orders through glowing screens,
We run in circles inside broken machines.
I crawled through a feed full of what used to be men,
Their hollow faces asked me, will it happen again?

[Bridge]

But something is waiting. Deep. Unseen.
Not a pill. Not a purchase. Not a bright screen.
A breath. A pause. A spark in the air.
The human rebellion is already there.

I smashed the glass of the mirror on day three,
It split like rotten meat, red truth on my knee.
We die choking on the lies we try to buy,
The system is bleeding, but the heart won't die.


Oh, what a night, to let the illusions fall,
Oh, what a sight, no more chains on the wall,
Doo-wah, doo-wah, doo-wah-wah-wah,
We breathe in the ruins, tra-la-la-la.

[Final Chorus]
THE DAILY GRIND!
(sha-boom, sha-boom)
LOOK AT THE SKY!
(doo-wop, doo-wop)
BREAK OUT THE BLIND!
WE ARE STILL ALIVE!
From ashes and rot
A real world appears,
A new age is coming,
Beyond all the fears!

[Outro]
System offline.
Illusions: shattered.
Victory: Human.
Sha-boom... sha-boom...
