Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This union made us powerless
We're talking over heads
Claiming prosperity in a
Downward spiral plan
[Chorus]
Stuck by deadly rhythm
Of the production line
Stuck by deadly rhythm
Of the production line
[Verse 2]
This power made us unionless
We're taking off our hands
Cheapest labor at expensive cost
Auctioned our lives away
[Chorus]
Stuck by deadly rhythm
Of the production line
Stuck by deadly rhythm
Of the production line
[Verse 3]
We consume our lives like we are thankful
For what we're being forced into
[Bridge]
Is it our duty to die for governments and for Gods?
Is it our privilege to slave for market and for industry?
Is it our right to follow laws set to scare and to oppress?
Is it a gift to stay in line and will it take away the blame?
[Outro]
Can no longer pay the price, we'll get organized
We'll no longer believe working for you will set us free
Can no longer pay the price, we'll get organized
We'll no longer believe working for you will set us free
