Employment Cost

[Verse 1]
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"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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)

[Chorus]
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
