Lyrics
Let's just get it over with
Expressing a desire to conclude or resolve a situation.
It's been hours and I'm over it
Feeling fed up after a prolonged period of time.
Hit em with a fake smile
Suggesting putting on a fake smile despite inner turmoil.
Head exploding all the while
Experiencing intense mental stress or pressure.
No one gets paid enough for this
Stating that people are not adequately compensated for the situation.
No one gets paid enough for this
Reiterating the insufficient compensation for the circumstances.
If you could see the way we live
Highlighting a disparity in living conditions that others may not see.
We laugh but nothing's funny
Indicating a lack of genuine amusement despite laughter.
Feed ourselves with no damn money
Facing challenges in affording basic necessities.
I'm broke
Expressing financial hardship or a lack of funds.
Our days can't all be sunny
Acknowledging that not every day is positive or joyful.
But we could use a hand
Expressing a need for assistance or support.
Seems my medic debt will never end
Complaining about ongoing medical debt.
God forbid if I get sick again
Expressing concern about the consequences of potential illness.
Makes you wonder how it got this way
Questioning how the current situation came to be.
Weighing out the reasons you should stay
Weighing the reasons to continue or leave the current circumstances.
I can't hit you with a five year plan
Unable to provide a long-term plan due to uncertainty.
I'm not even sure who really can
Expressing uncertainty about who can plan for the future.
My fortitude is so completely tapped
Feeling emotionally and mentally drained.
Like a wounded animal I'm trapped
Comparing oneself to a wounded animal, feeling trapped.
No one gets paid enough for this
Reiterating the theme of insufficient compensation for the situation.
No one gets paid enough for this
Emphasizing the ongoing issue of inadequate pay.
If you could see the way we live
Repeating the idea of hidden struggles in daily life.
We laugh but nothing's funny
Contrasting laughter with the lack of genuine humor or joy.
Feed ourselves with no damn money
Describing the struggle to afford basic necessities.
Our days can't all be sunny
Acknowledging that not every day is positive or joyful.
But we could use a hand
Expressing a need for external assistance or support.
We work to keep on living
Highlighting the necessity of work for survival.
Give up more than what we're given
Sacrificing more than what is received in return.
All we ask is that you listen
Pleading for understanding and empathy.
Try to understand
Encouraging others to try to comprehend the challenges faced.
No days off is inhumane
Labeling the absence of breaks as inhumane.
Throwing ethics down the drain
Condemning the disregard for ethical considerations in the pursuit of work.
No days off is inhumane
Reiterating the inhumanity of a constant work schedule.
Throwing ethics down the drain
Highlighting the sacrifice of ethical principles for the sake of work.
