Verse 1]
Alarm stabs the dark, tears me from sleep.
Cold mug, hard bread, my pain runs deep.
Worn boots, same road, dust blinds my eyes.
Twenty-five years, just a life I despise.
Same desk, old faces, trapped in this cell.
Same fights, same hurt, this job is my hell.
[Pre-Chorus]
Clock creeps, heart breaks, days never change.
Boss growls, hope’s gone, my life’s rearranged.
[Chorus]
Work till I’m dead, that’s all I am.
Grind burns my soul, no one gives a damn.
Twenty-five years, seventeen to roam.
This job’s my cage, it’s my only home.
Underpaid, unseen, no hope, no plan.
Work till I’m dead, that’s all I am.
[Verse 2]
Chair creaks, screen hums, same tired machine.
Lunch is a crumb, ten minutes, unseen.
Boss barks, “Move fast,” his voice cuts my core.
Same gripes, same weight, can’t take any more.
Dreams I once held, now dust in the rain.
This job’s my chain, just endless pain.
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing shifts, nothing new, just cold despair.
Soul’s crushed, light’s gone, no one to care.
[Chorus]
Work till I’m dead, that’s all I am.
Grind burns my soul, no one gives a damn.
Twenty-five years, seventeen to roam.
This job’s my cage, it’s my only home.
Underpaid, unseen, no hope, no plan.
Work till I’m dead, that’s all I am.
[Bridge]
Seventeen years till this chain’s set free.
But I’ll be too broken, too worn to be me.
Life’s just a shadow, a pain in my chest.
Work stole my years, left me nothing but rest.
[Chorus]
Work till I’m dead, that’s all I am.
Grind burns my soul, no one gives a damn.
Twenty-five years, seventeen to roam.
This job’s my cage, it’s my only home.
Underpaid, unseen, no hope, no plan.
Work till I’m dead, that’s all I am.
[Outro]
Wake up, go to work, same endless dread.
Twenty-five years, I’m bound till I’m dead.
