The Way They Run - Between Wages lyrics

Like a serpent around my neck. A beast eatin from my flesh. With hooks through my skin they ulled me straight in. My time I've given them and the rest of me they just took. In exchange for better days, dreams I'll never see and blind obedience. A lifetime will be spent before they're through with me. Then what will there be left? The reflections of a broken man. I'll bite my lip, I'll clench my fists. And I fade away from everything, from everyone. I hear their nails being hammered down through my coffin walls. The short stretch of light in this life is gone. All the lies I've told, everything I've bought and everything I've sold.
