THE COVENANT

Do you compose the code that you upload into your mind
Do the bearers of the joysticks fix the game to keep you in a bind
Keeping you in line while lying about their true intent
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness was the covenant

It was the agreement on which all of this was founded
Instead we've got mounting debt with high interest compounded
Being pounded into the ground and leading to early graves
Went from being physical to mental and now financial slaves

Making it hard to save for those rainy days when the sun don't shine
No time for Netflix and chill or full course meals with bottles of wine
Staying on our grind with little time off to play holes of golf
Working to get ahead by giving sweat, tears and crimson red like the nose of Rudolph
