[Verse 1: Time]
Tell me, is this what we were meant to do
Work more than 40 hours and still not make it through
The alarm clock rings, my hand hits snooze
The coffee starts to brew, the working man's blues
When the caffeine hits your lips, think of this
The fast food worker who can't afford a grocery list
They say you want money work hard I think the point was missed
Cuz most people got 2 jobs and can't afford sh**
Women are paid less than men I learned from feminists
From Bell Hooks to Bell Jar people should be pissed
But patriarchy's power and man won't give it up
So they sip fracking fluid in suits and live it up
This is for teachers who buy stuff out of pocket
To help the students find the key to their mind and unlock it
Most these senators say that everything's fine
But everyone's in debt so someone must be lying
[Hook: Time]
1 2 3 4 bills I got
5 6 7 8 stacks I lost
9 10 11 and I watch them all drop
Back to 0 I wish the subtraction would stop
[Verse 2: Time]
Rush hour traffic the sewers all steam
We give our time to a boss and sacrifice our dreams
Headlines that brainwash that's why they call them headlines
This is thought control, we're living in the end times
Could you even imagine yourself without a job?
A wage is just another way to say you're getting robbed
If you got dreams you got to sacrifice your sleep
Cuz rent comes quick and food's not cheap
In 2000 whatever, free times extinct
Cuz everyone's stressed there's dirty dishes in the sink
Anxiety rates are through the foreclosed roof
You try to spend the pain away but you can't buy the truth
Anti-union so they divide and conquer
It's all about profit alienation's the monster
I dipped this verse in kerosene won't you help me light it?
Best part about it I stole time on the clock to write this
[Hook: Time]
1 2 3 4 bills I got
5 6 7 8 stacks I lost
9 10 11 and I watch them all drop
Back to 0 I wish the subtraction would stop
