about

This "International Worker's Day" release goes out to our brothers and sisters who are working on the front lines, the back lines, and to those who have side-lined by corporate greed in this time of crisis. A new world is coming one way or the other and we hope this anthem will inspire you to join us in demanding a better world for all of us Wage Slaves once we make it to the other side.

We made this single "pay what you want" in recognition of the current economic hardships out there, but please note that if you can spare it, a portion of all proceeds from this single will be donated to organizations fighting for workers rights!

*** Full Album coming June 20th, 2020! ***

lyrics

LYRICS:

Alarm went off this morning
And I rolled on out of bed
Popped some pills for the chronic ills
The ones that live inside my head, Cause I'm a…

Wage Slave!
Just a… Wage Slave!

March on out the front door
To another rainy day (hey)
Ain't got no time for the warm sunshine
When you've got that rent to pay

Cause you’re a… Wage Slave!
Just a... Wage Slave

Countin’ down the minutes
Till I climb up on out these walls
I sit home tired, sad and oh, so broke...
Can’t go out drinkin’ til last call

I ain’t got no motivation anymore
So I just smoke and watch TV
Still waitin’ on that trickle down, from the top out to the streets
We’re all just faded shells of who we’re supposed to be - Because we’re...

Wage Slaves! (Sellin’ our souls one cheque at a time!)
Yeah we’re… Wage Slaves! (Make the man a dollar so he'll throw us a dime)
We’re just… Wage Slaves! (Just another day in the life, on the grind)
Cause we’re… Wage Slaves! (Stealin’ our lives one week at a time)
