lyrics

I’ve been wading through this sea of gray
For over 3 years now
And the only place it’s got me
Is in over my head with their constant judgment
Cause I know that
My yearly figures are a joke to them
So I figure
That I’m just no good for nothing

It’s a perfect storm of self-satisfaction
They’re breaking at my walls and
They dare me to follow their tradition
But the life I lead,
It leads no room
For the stupid bullshit that they buy into
Cause even though we don’t have a thing
We live like fucking kings

We weren’t meant for greatness
But we ride alongside some of the greatest
We’re the kings of mediocrity

So don’t tell me what I’m worth
Like I’m just some fucking sales report
Cause no man, you won’t
Break me down so easily
Cause I’m not concerned with you dollar signs
Or meeting times, you see
My pockets may be empty
But I feel complete
Cause I refuse to break my neck
And waste away for a goddamn paycheck
So you can take what you want from me
But you’ll never take my dignity


It’s a perfect storm of self-satisfaction
They’re breaking at my walls and
They dare me to follow their tradition
But the life I lead,
It leads no room
For the stupid bullshit that they buy into
Cause even though we don’t have a thing
We live like fucking kings

We know what we’re fighting for
And it’s something that’s worth dying for
We know what we’re fighting for
And it’s something that’s worth dying for
We know what we’re fighting for
And it’s something that’s worth dying for
We know what we’re fighting for
And it’s something that’s worth dying for

Cause even though we don’t have a thing
We live like fucking kings
