By Roe Kapara

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 labour
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 nine to five till death
Or it's a minimum wage gig where you don'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
They just need your labour
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 stays late
You're falling asleep at the wheel (at the wheel)
They say they care
If you live or die
But they just need your labour it's all a lie
I live to work
My dreams get shot
And if I kill myself it's an Employment Cost
