[Verse]
Work all your life for something
That you'll never be allowed to reach
When you find it amounts to nothing
A lesson learned, too late to teach
If you don't break the endless cycle
Then your children will be next
'Cause when the system's rigged against us
If you don't fight, it'll cost your neck
[Pre-Chorus]
Not giving up or burned out
I still have hope
But I won't lie to myself
Not giving up or burned out
I still have hope
But I won't lie to myself
[Chorus]
We can't stay, but we'll never get away
Stuck digging our own graves to live
And if work doesn't pay, then we'll find another way
'Cause we haven't got a fuck to give

[Bridge]
The worst is over now
So back to work
Back the pub
Back to school
Back to church
I hope we realise we've been sold a fucking lie
About countless avoidable tragedies at the cost of countless lives
[Chorus]
We can't stay, but we'll never get away
Stuck digging our own graves to live
And if work doesn't pay, then we'll find another way
'Cause we haven't got a fuck to give
We can't stay, but we'll never get away
Stuck digging our own graves to live
And if work doesn't pay, then we'll find another way
'Cause we haven't got a fuck to give
[Outro]
Won't lie to myself
