lyrics

Not everybody knows in this golden age
We’ve got more than we deserve
Not everybody knows nothing’s for free for real
Someone else has paid somewhere else yeah

I saw you turn your face away
I noticed cause I did the same
I saw him turn off the spotlight
And making his duty his pride

We’re just blinded human machines
Working harder cutting and squeezing
We’re just programmed mechanic drills
We don’t have an idea of the scars we leave

Not everybody knows in this golden age
We’ve got more than we deserve
Not everybody knows nothing’s for free for real
Someone else is paying right now, right now

I see you turn your face away
I notice cause I do the same
D’you see him turn off the spotlight
And making his duty his pride?

We’re just blinded human machines
Working harder cutting and squeezing
We’re just programmed mechanic drills
We don’t have an idea of the scars we leave

We’re just blinded human machines
Working harder cutting and squeezing
We’re just programmed mechanic drills
We don’t have an idea of the scars we leave
