fauxcroft

I’ve spent a lifetime

Working for the system,

And what have I got in return

Just debt and meagre wages,

While those above lived the life,

Born into privilege they never earned

Yet it was always me that got burned,

And there are so many just like me

Got fuck all because of others greed,

And is this our fault? No it is not,

We saw no alternative and were left to rot,

In the bowels of a corrupt fucking system

Keeping the engines running,

For the corporate money making machines,

And even now they sit laughing at us

How, I ask you, is this not obscene,

Selling us lies based on dreams,

Which they know they are not achievable

Because the systems are rigged and that’s far more believable.
