Seeking out an honest living soul
Checking every body for a pulse
Lifting every eyelid for a glimmer of evil left to give
Meaning to meaningless, that much I'd die for

Searching through this body stack for hours
Yeah, from the bottom
Pride is gone the night
We sink to the bottom, we'll never be one of them

Awake, arise
Eat, work, shit, sleep, awake, arise
Awake, arise
Eat, work, shit, sleep, awake, arise

Listen as the chorus marching
Union roars like a lion
This old man with hat in hand just said it
We built this city on debts and booze

Twelve years of debt and I'll be paying it off
With blood and sweat but it means nothing at all
I'll pay the price
'Till I die

And every jaded hero clings to his worth
In it for paychecks, moving units and merch
But I decline
To ever be one of them
