precariat from INFINITE NORMAL by Kid Lightbulbs

Scrolling as I watched them take the wheel
Told us that it costs too much to heal
Jaded ‘cause they can’t resist the greed
Worried for the mouths I’ve gotta feed

Searching but the search is getting hard
Market looking rotten to the core
Don’t know if I’ll ever fix the car
Don’t think we can travel anymore

But we just want to live
No bone to pick at all
Got caught up in the grift
Don’t tell me it’s our fault

‘Cause this was never ours
They sold it off went to the highest bidder
And we are meant to laugh it off

Found another job the other day
Savings for a month, I hope we’re safe
Took away the pension and my voice
Need the money, I don’t have a choice
Always on I’m burning out again
Can’t even afford to see my friends
Told me that my values were a lie
It’s my fault that someone needs to die

But we just want to live
No bone to pick at all
Got caught up in the grift
Don’t tell me it’s our fault

‘Cause this was never ours
They sold it off went to the highest bidder
And we are meant to laugh it off
Let go of what was ours
‘Cause in the end all we got is each other
We sing with joy then burn it down
