Bill Me

Lyrics

Clock's ticking a grind with no gold
Dust on my shoes makes me feel so old
Suit and tie man's got my soul on lease
Got me cornered can't find no peace

Smokestacks rise like a wild beast
Job's a cage here comes another feast
Paycheck's thin like it's got no spine
Sweat and blood got no time no time

Bill me drag me down
This cross lookin' like a crown
Bill me push me around
Where's the off switch to this town

Letters stackin' high unopened tools
Landlord's knockin' breakin' the rules
Electric hum like a bitter song
Doin' my best to hold along

Fragments of dreams slip through cracks
Workin' nights back to back
Freedom's a lie they sold for cents
Lookin' for change it never makes sense

Whiskey bottle's my only rescue
Cheap solace in what I consume
Bill me each day till I bleed
Promise broken just like my creed

Bill me drag me down
This cross lookin' like a crown
Bill me push me around
Where's the off switch to this town

Letters stackin' high unopened tools
Landlord's knockin' breakin' the rules
Electric hum like a bitter song
Doin' my best to hold along

Fragments of dreams slip through cracks
Workin' nights back to back
Freedom's a lie they sold for cents
Lookin' for change it never makes sense
