Caliban - Open Letter

Corporate cunts and pencil pushers
Prostitute your mind for cash
This way of life, it made me suffer
Trade your given time to trash
You all work jobs you badly hate to keep the bills at pay
For shit you bought, but you don't need
What self-deceptive way

Right from the cradle straight to grave
They want to tell us how to behave
Right from the cradle straight to the end
They want to force us to pretend

An open letter to you all
Your greed will take it's toll
We're with our backs against the wall
But it's only built to fall

You tell me dreams are made to fail
Like there is no escape
Prepared to walk the longest trail
Away from mental rape
Intimidate me with your lies
I'm paying any price
And when I come to say goodbye
Can't look me in the eye

Right from the cradle straight to grave
They want to tell us how to behave
Right from the cradle straight to the end
They want to force us to pretend

An open letter to you all
Your greed will take it's toll
We're with our backs against the wall
But it's only built to fall

But I chose not to live like that
I'm fighting my way back

(An open letter to you all)

An open letter to you all
Your greed will take it's toll
An open letter to you all
But it's only built to fall
An open letter to you all
Your greed will take it's toll
We're with our backs against the wall
But it's only built to fall
Built to fall
