The machine

I'm a stupid, sorry motherfucker
Over sympathetic
So fucking
Pathetic

Why do I try to get involved
Why do so many problems
Go unsolved?
I want to see resolve
We need to evolve
We need to be absolved
For what this world revolves around
With what we surround
Can't keep my feet up
Off the ground

Kicking us while we're down
Another run down town
Takes your smile
Gives back a frown

The truth is painful
But the meaning is deep
Don't be a wolf
But damn, don't be a sheep

On the grind
Its all a grind
Look for reasons
Aren't hard to find
I'm trapped inside a realists mind
Money's tight we're in a bind
We're trapped
We're trapped
We're strapped
They broke our arms
But we already tapped

Its so ingrained
Its in grain
Its in the water
Question everything

And the paranoia
It starts to destroy ya
