lyrics

Had to grow up early
then i had to do it again
and i’m tired of not complaining
Tired of being grateful just to have my basics met
a roof over my head
food and a bed

and i know that being grateful is a key to being happy
but there are so many rich folks fucking up this up for everybody
none of these politicians give a single shit about me
and none of the laws protect you unless you have money

7am leave to work, air is crisp in my nose
coffee in its little seat fogging up my car windows
Roll them down to see, cause my defroster never functioned
should gotten a raise last year but i didnt have the gumption
because Jamie got denied
and she worked harder than i did
she got denied
so why would I deserve it?

clearly im not cut throat and never have I been
i am more interested in tending the community garden
but why is competitiveness in money rewarded?
Without the context of business, its just selfishness

Get home and its dark i collapse into the chair
i know im dirty i should shower but I can’t make my self care
my feet cant stand anymore
I look around at the disrepair

And I wonder how it got this bad
Like what were all the stages?
Every little legislation that put off raising wages
Or adding regulations
I think of their faces

While tending the community garden I think of their faces

With my hands frozen to the steering wheel i think of their faces
