Explode from DROWNIN' EYES by The Only Voxx

Paper stackin’ thin, patience wearin’ out
Another week, another hole, another twist of doubt
Price of bread, price of gas
Got my hands tied up, runnin’ fast just to come in last

They sell you the dream on a digital screen
While they bleedin’ you dry with the money machine
Tick, tick, tick, hear the sound of the bomb
Sweepin’ all the little pieces up with a broom

This is the re-volt, the truth bein’ told
No checks, no balance, story’s gettin’ old
Wise up, rise up before we die up
Is there any salvation or are we destined to explode?

They talkin’ big numbers, a rise in the pay
But the cost of livin’ eats it all away in a day
Another headline, another lie
Watch the fat cats smilin’ from a seat in the sky

Yeah I see the gleam in their corporate eye
Gonna squeeze the whole world ’til the well runs dry
Push, push, push ’til we’re over the brink
Yeah we’re closer than they think, closer than they think

This is the re-volt, the truth bein’ told
No checks, no balance, story’s gettin’ old
Wise up, rise up before we die up
Is there any salvation or are we destined to explode?

So you work your fingers down to the bone
For a slice of a pie you will never own
Is this it? Is this it?
The punchline to a sick, cosmic joke

Destined to explode
The receipt is too long
Destined to explode
The receipt is all wrong
Destined to...
