[Verse 1: Alex Varkatzas]
In the cold dead of night
Wrest your self from sleep
To face the morning light
So Pathologically
Trapped in a system that breaks originality
In favor of bland safe marketability
Middle of a long day]
Turns into working long weeks
What are we doing this for
Whose fucking stocks will increase
At times we're all just little junkies and whores
Clawing scratching unattainable dreams
[Chorus: Brandon Saller & Alex Varkatzas]
How much can we take
To labor and to break
Our backs against the system's walls
I say smash it fucking down
In control of our fate
We produce and we create
The guns from which we sell our souls
I say smash it fucking all
[Verse 2: Alex Varkatzas]
How ironic is the plan of our lives
Working doubles to survive, to get by
A passionless job in a meaningless lie
I despise being trite to get by
What do you offer?
What can you create?
What do you contribute?
What profit is made?
[Chorus: Brandon Saller & Alex Varkatzas]
How much can we take
To labor and to break
Our backs against the system's walls
I say smash it fucking down
In control of our fate
We produce and recreate
The cost for which we sell our souls
I say smash it fucking all
[Bridge: Alex Varkatzas]
I say smash it fucking down
Smash it fucking down
[Chorus: Brandon Saller & Alex Varkatzas]
How much can we take
To labor and to break
Our backs against the system's walls
I say smash it fucking down
In control of our fate
We produce and we create
The guns from which we sell our souls
I say smash it fucking all
[Outro: Alex Varkatzas]
I say smash it fucking all
