"Employment Cost" lyrics

My dad's condom broke in '97
Now I exist so I can pay bills and have crippling depression
They said, "Congrats on being born
Now get a job you lazy, capitalist whore"

They say they care if you live or die
But they just need your labor, it's all a lie
I live to work, my dreams get shot
And if I kill myself it's an employment cost

So it's a 9 to 5 till death
Or it's a minimum wage gig where you won't get fed
And you start to hate the whole human race
For not fixing this world before it's too late

They say they care if you live or die
But they just need your labor, it's all a lie
I live to work, my dreams get shot
And if I kill myself it's an employment cost

You missed your kid's birthday
It was only last week
The office stay late
Now you're falling asleep at the wheel (at the wheel)

They say they care if you live or die
But they just need your labor, it's all a lie
I live to work, my dreams get shot
And if I kill myself it's an employment cost
