Lyrics
This job runs you
This job is consuming and draining you.
This day kills you
This day is emotionally or physically exhausting.
This suit owns you
This suit symbolizes conformity and the demands of society.
This man tells you
This man has control or authority over you.
What to do
You are instructed on what actions to take.
You like being bought?
Are you comfortable with being manipulated or controlled?
You like being sold?

It kills
The day is mentally or emotionally exhausting.
You can't kill yourself
Expressing the inability to escape the situation through self-harm.
You're already dead
You feel emotionally numb or detached.
And you'd do it again
You would endure the pain or challenges again.
And you'd do it again
Emphasizing the repetition of enduring challenges.
And you'd tell me you like it
You admit to finding some satisfaction in the struggle.
And you'd tell me to take it home
Someone encourages you to accept and internalize the struggle.
