Lyrics:

The gears keep turning

Rotten inside

The pressure's rising

Let it burst tonight

Operating until blood runs dry


Do you feel accomplished

At the end of the day

When all you did today was relax

Sit down and play

Taking time for yourself

Sensible or wasting time

Is what I ask myself

When the clock begins to chime

When productivity is 

How you meassure your worth

And nothing you do 

Can compare to the scale of the earth

Forced creativity

You just can't catch a break

For you to put work aside 

Tell me what will it take


A never ending grind

Just keep on riding

You know you can't fight it

So, stop wasting time

Just quit the lying

And keep on smiling

Never let them see


Falling deeper into frustration

Isolation

Digitization

Civilization

Only looking out for themselves


When did we stop

Looking out for each other

Doesn't that make life

For everyone harder

Another level of egotistic

Everyone turns into workaholics


It takes one observation

There's no absence of strain

People lost in frustration

Why would you take away

The human interaction that's needed

To fill up the void in our hearts

It's growing and spreading to every cell

Slowly tearing us apart

Mental health declining

The people are dying

Yet we are not fighting

To break up this trend

Is this the end

What do you see

Looking for our destiny


When did we stop

Looking out for each other

Doesn't that make life

For everyone harder

Another level of egotistic

Everyone turns into workaholics


Everybody is rewarded 

For working hard

It's what they are looking for

The people that take charge

Everyone's expected 

To work just like machines

No more going out

The people hiding behind screens

When productivity is 

How you meassure your worth

And nothing you do 

Can compare to the scale of the earth

Forced creativity

You just can't catch a break

For you to put work aside 

Tell me what will it take


A never ending grind

Just keep on riding

You know you can't fight it

So, stop wasting time

Just quit the lying

And keep on smiling

Never let them see


When did we stop

Looking out for each other

Doesn't that make life

For everyone harder

Another level of egotistic

Everyone turns into workaholics
