lyrics

TIED TO THE GAME

BOUND TO
BOUND TO THE LINE
WITHOUT A NUMBER
WITHOUT A FUTURE
YOUR FATE INTO THE HANDS
OF THE HEARTLESS AND THE CARELESS

DON’T YOU SEE THEY’VE GOT YOU ON THEIR SIDE
TO MAKE SURE YOU NEVER CROSS THE LINE
YOUR MISERY IS CANDY TO THEIR EYES
TO WATCH YOU CRAWL AND UNABLE TO FIGHT

TIED TO
TIED TO THE GAME
OF THE BROKER AND THE CHEATER
BLIND TO
BLIND TO THE WASTE
OF CONSUMPTION AND EXTORTION

DON’T YOU SEE THEY’VE GOT YOU ON THEIR SIDE
TO MAKE SURE YOU NEVER CROSS THE LINE
YOUR MISERY IS CANDY TO THEIR EYES
TO WATCH YOU CRAWL AND UNABLE TO FIGHT

BUT YOU FEEL ALRIGHT
TO THE BEAT OF THE DRUM YOU GO
AND WORK THE TIME AWAY
AS LONG AS YOU GET
TO SPEND WHAT YOU EARNED
ON ALL THE THINGS THEY INSIST YOU DESERVE

LED TO
LED TO THE GRIND
BY THE MASTERS OF DECEPTION
LEFT TO
LEFT TO ARISE
FROM THE ASHES OF DESTRUCTION

DON’T’ YOU SEE THEY WANT YOU ON THEIR SIDE
TO MAKE SURE YOU NEVER CROSS THE LINE
YOUR MISERY IS CANDY TO THEIR EYES
TO WATCH YOU CRAWL AND UNABLE TO FIGHT

BUT YOU FEEL ALRIGHT
TO THE BEAT OF THE DRUM YOU GO
AND WORK THE TIME AWAY
AS LONG AS YOU GET
TO SPEND WHAT YOU EARNED
ON ALL THE THINGS THEY INSIST YOU DESERVE
