Strangely Shaped by Fathers - Sick of All the Hustle

Sick of all the hustle
Life shouldn't be this hard
It isn't admirable
How close to the line you are
Or how much you struggled
Your way up here from the streets
Because everything you needed
Should've already been on every street
Right from the start

We shouldn't celebrate this
Badly broken system
By making role models of
The ones who wouldn't let it kill them
Ignoring all the others
Too tired to take up arms
The ones without a choice but
Succumbing to its harm

Forty years of nine to five
You never missed a single payment
But you missed a whole lot of birthdays
And you never spent a single day fulfilled

We glorify this bullshit
How hard we work to make ends meet
How long we fought to make it
All the things we did so we could eat
And it serves only the system
The one that fails us every day
A fairy tale pretending
Things can't be another way
Than the way they say

All we ever needed
Already it exists
But has been stolen from us
For somebody's profits
To keep us all exploited
As if it is the natural way
But we could change the whole world
By changing everything today

But I'm too tired to change the world

Cuz I'm sick of all the hustle
Every day a fucking hustle
Life shouldn't be a hustle
And I'm sick of all the hustle

I'm too tired to change the world today
Shouldn't be our job anyway

I'm sick of all the hustle
