modern slave

I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be like you
how's that box ya live in?
is it keepin' ya safe?
does it keep you warm throughout the night?
you're gonna suffocate, let me reiterate,
the walls are closing in, air is getting thin
if asphyxiation's not yer thing
then it's 'bout ya escaped

am I wasting my life away
or am I the one who's living?
I saw a bit more of the world
while you were on a leash all day

why don't ya tell me
what'd ya do today?
made someone else rich slaving yourself away?
now use your tokens to buy your prize
the toys distracting your eyes
while livin' in a cage, skipping meals everyday
lack of sleep, lack of thought,
brain barely functioning at all

am I wasting my life away
or am I the one who's living?
I saw a bit more of the world
while you were on a leash all day

I don't wanna be a modern slave
