Cut Through It
Cut Through It: A Battle Cry Against Exploitation
Lyrics
Work hard if you wanna make it,
Emphasizes the necessity of hard work for success.
Your soul - they'll take it right out of you,
Warning about the potential exploitation or loss of one's soul through hard work.
It's just another day,
Highlights the mundane nature of daily life.
Clock in, better get to it,
Encouragement to start working promptly after clocking in.
Your time, do it or they'll let you go,
Emphasizes the importance of using one's time wisely or facing consequences.
And then you're all alone,
Suggests the loneliness that may come when one fails to meet expectations.
Work another day for a meager wage - CANT DO IT
Expresses frustration at working for a low wage, with a refusal to continue.
For all your time on Earth, that's all you're worth.
Commentary on the perceived undervaluation of human life in exchange for work.
No time to play, got hell to pay - CUT THROUGH IT
Indication of a determination to cut through difficulties and challenges.
Slave wages going away.
Recognition of the unfairness of low wages and a desire for change.
Years pass, still you're sticking to it,
Acknowledgment of the passage of time while persisting in a difficult situation.
Time's ticking and they're picking everyone but you,
Concern that time is passing, and others are progressing while the individual remains stuck.
Loyalty denied,
Expresses a sense of betrayal or lack of loyalty in the workplace.
Wake up - it's the same old shit,
Describes the repetitiveness of waking up to the same unpleasant reality.
They rip you off and tell you not to ponder it,
Highlights the exploitation or deception by those in power.
Because it keeps them strong,
Suggests that maintaining this system of exploitation benefits those in power.
Cause I - won't be denied,
Asserts a refusal to be denied or oppressed.
Keep on taking? Won't take what's mine.
Declares resistance against being taken advantage of and reclaiming what is rightfully one's own.
Just one day - that's all it takes,
Expresses the belief that change can occur with determination over a short period.
To show them something - they can be replaced,
Indicates the intention to demonstrate replaceability and worth.
Gonna fucking throw you away.
Strongly asserts the rejection or abandonment of the oppressive system.
