lyrics

And all this for what?
To claw my way to the top
At this dead end job
To show off my house (to all my friends)
To show my car
To show off my wife

I’m living life around this dead end march
Everything is safe here, there’s no change
This fucking fool just wants another sale
You think we like this pressure, like we’re giants among men?

It’s that need for a grade (you’re doing so well)
So sure it’ll secure your fate
In life
So twenty years from now (when you’re on your way)
In some dead end job
You too can get that raise

I’m living life around this dead end march
Everything is safe here, there’s no change

You don’t say
I’ll claw my way up this corporate hill
I’ll kick and scream
I’ll stalk and steal
To get my house
To get my ride
I need my things and I need them now.

I need my wife, not too fat, not too thin
I need my cup not too hot not to cold
I need my hair, just right color, not too short, not too long, just the perfect trim
And I need my things and I need them now
Because we’re giants
Giants among men

I want to start today again
Go and change my life
Again and again
I want to change path today
I want to live my life
I want to fall away
