ContraVein - Faithless

Man and his mind, they're mortal enemies
In this for life, ain't no remedies
Listen outside, listen to the melodies
All I hear are screams, all the tragedies
Voices in my head, while my eyes only see red
If you saw what I saw, you'd wish that you were dead
Every day, like the old man said
The world feeds off of everybody's debt
Crazy how we judge each other by our salaries
That messes with my head, why can't I be happy?
I give it all I got, and I get "that's not too shabby"
When the rich boy struggles he just go home, calls his daddy
Ask him for a check, I'm just askin' for respect
Money shouldn't matter, but what do you expect?
Talkin' 'bout it here got me all inside my head
Like the first line, a man's enemy is his mind
I know it shouldn't matter
I know it shouldn't matter
A check or respect
I should take the ladder
Man and his mind, they're mortal enemies
In this for life, ain't no remedies
Listen outside, listen to the melodies
All I hear are screams, all the tragedies
Voices in my head, while my eyes only see red
If you saw what I saw, you'd wish that you were dead
Every day, like the old man said
The world feeds off of everybody's debt
We live in a time where we all should be free
But we're prisoners of our mind, c'mon and take the plea
An entire life sentence of corporate fuckin' work
Or three years on the grind, writin' on the four-four
Every day I look into the mirror
Every day got my finger on the trigger
Every day they say "cry me a river"
Every day, they just don't see the picture
Materialist bullshit
Cuban link goldsmith
Jordan three retrofits
Louis V outfits
Private jet cockpits
Rich fucker grandkids
Emotionless hypocrites
Entitlement sophisticates
I know it shouldn't matter
I know it shouldn't matter
A check or respect
I should take the ladder
I should take the ladder
I should take the ladder
I should take the ladder
