Lyrics

Is this what we’re all living for?
Verse
I'm about to loose control,
Every night is medicinal,
I get home I’m late again,
Is this how we thought our lives would be?
I toggle on the electric switch.
And open up an empty fridge,
A jar of helman's mayonnaise,
A heel of bread and oh there'll be days like these.
Pre - Chorus
All I really know is we’re just slaves?
All I really know is...
It’s such a waste of our time, a waste of our lives.
Chorus
Oh no, is that what we’re all living for?
No, no, no, no,
Verse
I can't even make my rent
I'm working every hour sent,
With my shit wage my moneys spent,
No more credit, no more lends,
The landlord says he's sorry but,
The banks have got him by the nuts,
Its either me or him he says,
So I'm back on the streets again.
Pre - Chorus
All I really know is we’re just slaves?
All I really know is...
It’s such a waste of our time, a waste of our lives.
Chorus
Oh no, is that what we’re all living for?
Oh no, is that what we’re all living for?
Oh no, is that what we’re all living for?
No, no, no, no, no
Middle 8
I don't wanna be like John and Cathleen
Working all my life for a grand old headstone.
Are you working for your headstone.
Are you working for a headstone.
Outro
Is that what we’re all living for?
Is that what we’re all living for?
Is that what we’re all living for?
