Victorian Modern Cursive

from Can't Stay Forever by Daysworth Fighting

/

lyrics

Free thinkers won’t fill the factory floors
Demand the answers of the dinosaurs
Break the cast set for us by old white men

They continue to stack our funeral pyres behind their crooked smiles
With the profits from our broken hands, ruined by their automated demands

When the cogs no longer turn and the system doesn’t work
You want a higher education?
You want a reason to belong?

They say it’s the only way to learn but our hands are bent and broken
They say it builds character but we know it’s not the way to go

A bleeding education, they want you where you are
A future pulled apart
Generational greed
Generational debt
A life on the street
A life to forget

The report, handwritten - an indictment on us all
These failing constructs are built to break and fall

Eat the rich
They want to keep you where you are
Full steam a head
Release the pressure on the educators
The cogs no longer turn
Smash their icons, altars, gods until our hands won’t work
