5 Years

[Verse 1]
So they say there's a better way to make it
A nine to five is the only way you'll make it
But I don't know if I can take another day of this
Working overtime to save up for tomorrow
While all their promises keep ringing out so hollow
Now they're taking all the bonuses away from me

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've spent a fucking lifetime picking up the pieces
Trying to get ahead, but I'm still defeated
I never even wanted this at all anyway

[Chorus]
'Cause it's been five years of medications
Five years of accusations
Five years enslaved in misery
Five years of dedication
Five years of aggravation
Five years enslaved in misery

[Verse 2]
It's all the same as we get a little older
Nowhere to go and too late to start all over
You're just a number when you're working for the company
So play along while they rave about the stock price
And pretty soon you'll be buying into their lies
Conformity is now rewarded with the guarantee

[Pre-Chorus]
That I'll spend a fucking lifetime picking up the pieces
Trying to get ahead, but I'm still defeated
I never even wanted this at all anyway

[Chorus]
'Cause it's been five years of medications
Five years of accusations
Five years enslaved in misery
Five years of dedication
Five years of aggravation
Five years enslaved in misery

[Bridge]
Nowhere to run to
And now there's nothing that will make everything be alright
Once you know that you're never as important as the bottom line

[Chorus]
Five years of medications
Five years of accusations
Five years enslaved in misery
Five years of dedication
Five years of aggravation
Five years enslaved in misery

[Outro]
Five years, five years, five years, five years
Five years enslaved in misery
