about
Latest scathing attack from Scary Hours.
"And now Struck strikes with a vengeance again on the explosive and timely “Cost of Living,” which takes Karl Marx’s theory of capitalist alienation and applies it to the socio-economic outlook of today’s world." - Big Takeover
lyrics
LYRICS:
I wear this skin to filter from the mirror the feigning of a grin
We are forebearers of malignity
We are the mortgagers of dignity
We are the singers of a passive song
You can use your own voice but you've gotta sing along
Commodify the dissident
Medicate the pestilent
This cost of living is more than monetary
Assigned to roles unsettling, involuntary
Our liberation cannot be bought with medication
Is it crazy to believe we might be happy if we live another way?
I tried to barter with the future
But the future's been foreclosed
You're as useful as a tumor
Your servitude is in your best interest so why can't you be thankful?
Replace the pennies in my piggy bank
Targeted marketing, bullets are a surplus of fluoxetine
There's an imbalance in your insolent brain
Let's clear that conscience with some mental Lindane
This cost of living is more than monetary
Assigned to roles unsettling, involuntary
Our liberation cannot be bought with medication
Is it crazy to believe we might be happy if we live another way?
Pull a rabbit from your hat and a dove from your sleeve
Let the serotonin work as you try not to grieve
This cost of living is more than monetary
Assigned to roles unsettling, involuntary
Our liberation cannot be bought with medication
Is it so crazy to believe we might be happy if we live another way?
