Ryan Mannebach - Chicago Slicker

Chicago Slicker, made my name through the pain game
Every day is a struggle just to remain sane
Change myself and then the world, won't fake it
No more waiting on tomorrow, eternal sunrise
Don't have a choice
Gotta come out with my voice every time I have that choice
Hear a lot of banter, you know that love is the answer
Which we'll find inside, there is nowhere left to hide
Never addressed those issues, corporations try to use us like tissue
Got more respect than that, found my purpose and I'm never going back
Heart attack American, so I became vegetarian
Live well and prosper, whatever you do don't take a bad offer or get misused
I've heard it all before, seven billion people just trying to score
Short term gains bring on the pain, play the long game, you'll be glad you came
For your kids, hear this sound, coming round
If you accept the truth as it is we might be able to stick around
Chicago Slicker, made my name through the pain game
Every day is a struggle just to remain sane
Change myself and then the world, won't fake it
No more waiting on tomorrow, eternal sunrise
Chicago slicker, getting sicker off the liquor while the 1% get richer
Working stiff? Need a lift? Round here, nothing comes as a gift
Trying to find the time to cut you in line and make myself an extra dime
But hey! I already know where you need to go to collect 200 and pass go
You see, I paid all my tolls and fed all the trolls when I went looking for that invisible gold
Cuz haven't you heard? It's so absurd. I sold my soul so long ago
I watched my dad die, saw the life leave his eyes, cops hit me with them fines, arrested and tested
But you can't put a dent in my ride, push the greedy to the side, up, up, and away towards the sky
I just want to be exponentially growing every single way, every single day
Fuck around, go downtown, look around, look at all of the bullshit
(Bring down a piece of cloud nine)
Surrounding you in the aisle of Wal-Mart
(Clean up the ocean and the skies)
You know you need a fresh start
(And then away we fly, otherwise stay stuck in the ground til we die)
Chicago Slicker, made my name through the pain game
Every day is a struggle just to remain sane
Change myself and then the world, won't fake it
No more waiting on tomorrow, eternal sunrise
