[Hook]
And he missed those days when the kids all played
When a fist full of dirt made ‘em rich all day
Now he sits in a grave and he grips on a fistful of change
That he saved it's a simple game
[Verse 1]
I thought life was a linear game with a singular aim
Just to get paid whatever it takes
Slave for a generous wage and at the end of the day
My little head'll be raised
Hi, my names withered and grey
Everything I ever made now is frittered away
Every friend I ever had came second in place to the cash
How much cash can I fit in this grave?
I regret viewing life as a contest
It's not just thousand dollar suits and watches
It's not just “man I gotta do what the boss says”
Obnoxious? Yeah, but I got the hottest stock tips
Got lost in what's most important for my pockets and other a**orted nonsense
My names forgotten conscience
Life is simple I developed the complex
[Hook]
[Bridge]
(All we own) Is worthless
When (Home sweet home's) a furnace
(And though we know) We can't keep our purchase
We'll see how much ash this urn fits
[Verse 2]
From the poor to dirt rich
We all turn the same direction the earth twists
I learned this late but it's nothing I can't fix
Hold my pride as I traverse this burnt bridge
f** spending my whole life in a job that I don't like
To go buy sh** that I don't need
It's so easy to fall into the trap
I'm better than him I got more crap
Even If you're not sure what you're on this rock for
You're worth more than the money in your sock drawer
That's enough talk, that's the naked truth
My name is…..you
[Hook]
[Outro]
This world ain't turning on us, this world is turning with us
