8 Billion Rats

[Intro Chorus]
(Ha!) One life to live and you want to live it (Yeah)
Head in the sand, is that really living? (No!)
Receiving nothing from what you're giving
But you still trust Babylon (Hey)

Breaking your back on the wheel that's driven (Ha!)
Life is a bitch and she ain't forgiving (Never)
You 'bout to sleep in that grave you digging
But you still trust Babylon

[Verse 1]
Went from tell-lie-vision
To tell-lie-phone
More connected than ever but still alone
Only tunnel vision and mindless drones
A couple rats in a maze fighting for the crumbs

Living double lives
Can't recognize
Who we are anymore
Sleepwalking
Sleeping awake
'Cause you don't know who you are anymore

[Chorus]
One life to live and you want to live it
Head in the sand, is that really living? (Is it?)
Receiving nothing from what you're giving
But you still trust Babylon

Breaking your back on the wheel that's driven (How?)
Life is a bitch and she ain't forgiving (Never)
You 'bout to sleep in that grave you digging
But you still trust Babylon

[Verse 2]
Tryna fix tomorrow but you can't fix your today (Dig it)
On your knees to that god you want to pray
How he gon' save you if you cannot save yourself
So you caught up in this hell
As far as I can tell you’re a slave
One foot in the grave
One of the 8 billion rats running through the maze (See it)
Can't look in the mirror 'cause all you see is horror
'Cause you don't know who you are anymore

[Chorus]
One life to live and you want to live it
Head in the sand, is that really living? (Is it?)
Receiving nothing from what you're giving
But you still trust Babylon

Breaking your back on the wheel that's driven (How?)
Life is a bitch and she ain't forgiving (Never)
You 'bout to sleep in that grave you digging
But you still trust Babylon

[Break]
(Free from the system)
(Free from the system)
(Free from the system)
(Free from the system)
Oh…

When I open my eyes everyday
I think about how I can break away

Sick of my wasted life
Sick of my wasted life
Sick of wasting life
Sick of wasting my life
Sick of wasting my life
I’m sick of this wasted life
Sick of this wasted life
Sick of this wasted life
Sick of this wasted life

So…

[Chorus]
One life to live and you want to live it
Head in the sand, is that really living?
Receiving nothing from what you're giving
But you still trust Babylon

(Hey!) Breaking your back on the wheel that's driven
Life is a bitch and she ain't forgiving
You 'bout to sleep in that grave you digging
But you still trust Babylon

[Outro]
Wake up, wake up
