Slaves to the system

(Verse 1)

Sunrise paints the city gray, another day begins,

Same old grind, the same old way, where does the journey win?

Clock hands tick, a steady beat, marking time we spend,

In concrete walls, on weary feet, until the very end.

(Chorus)

We're slaves to the system, chained by the rules,

Lost in the gears, broken and used.

Yearning for freedom, a breath of fresh air,

Trapped in this cycle, beyond compare.

(Verse 2)

Empty faces in the crowd, chasing after dreams,

But shadows fall, and hopes are bowed, by what the future seems.

The weight of bills, the endless fight, to keep our heads above,

Dimming the fire, stealing the light, of passion and of love.

(Chorus)

We're slaves to the system, chained by the rules,

Lost in the gears, broken and used.

Yearning for freedom, a breath of fresh air,

Trapped in this cycle, beyond compare.

(Bridge)

Is there a way to break these chains, to rise above the fray?

To feel the sun, to ease the pains, and find a brighter day?

A flicker of hope, a whispered plea, to break these walls apart,

To find the strength, to finally be, the masters of our heart.

(Chorus)

We're slaves to the system, chained by the rules,

Lost in the gears, broken and used.

Yearning for freedom, a breath of fresh air,

Trapped in this cycle, beyond compare.

(Outro)

Oh, to be free, to truly live, beyond the gilded cage,

To take the chance, to truly give, and turn a brand new page.

To break the chains, and finally see, the dawn of our own light,

To live our lives, wild and free, and claim what is our right.
