KEEP WORKING

Every morning, we crawl out of bed dressing ourselves and getting fed packing our stuff, cursing our work cause good paying jobs are for the wealthy reserved ​ No chance to group the stairs they point down keep up that smile you know you can’t frown ​ obey your employer never take breaks Work, god damn work for the economy's sake ​ 167 (or more) hours of work in a week rest’s just preparation your health will grow brittle and weak for value generation after all, its legal exploitation for every future generation until they own the nation ​ Isn’t it torture isn’t it killing it might just be worse we are selling ourselves for endless commerce ​ There is no compassion there is no moral or soul the entire system is rotten and foul ​ And yet we continue in our greed and our rage building and building our…


Every morning, we crawl out of bed

dressing ourselves and getting fed

packing our stuff, cursing our work

cause good paying jobs are for the wealthy reserved

No chance to group

the stairs they point down

keep up that smile

you know you can’t frown

obey your employer

never take breaks

Work, god damn work

for the economy's sake

167 (or more) hours of work in a week

rest’s just preparation

your health will grow brittle and weak

for value generation

after all, its legal exploitation

for every future generation

until they own the nation

Isn’t it torture isn’t it killing

it might just be worse

we are selling ourselves

for endless commerce

There is no compassion

there is no moral or soul

the entire system is rotten and foul

And yet we continue

in our greed and our rage

building and building

our own golden cage

Our planet is dying

but that we ignore

as long as there are 50 brands of cornflakes in store

We cannot grow until the end of time

lets change what we’re doing, lets try and be better

or we suffer forever and ever

Please change, it’s our last cry

cause if you don’t stop

its the end of the line

A Poem by Zorofeu
