MEDITATOR - Rise & Grind Lyrics

We slave our lives away
Gears in the machine
Get it done or get out of the way
Never being heard, never being seen
The rage inducing hypocrisy
Twisting our minds
Pawns in this corrupt bureaucracy
We toe the line
We're expected to take it all
Smile and keep your mouth shut
Pushing us to the breaking point
It's too much to hold
Rise and Grind
Better keep up or get left behind
Rise and Grind
Stay silent and fall in line
And every day
One step to the left
Just do as they said
Who am I to question the thoughts of a militant few
You're bombarded with reprimands
And cleared out by force
They love seeing you knocked down
And struggling on the floor
They want us to stay silent
And play the game
You see what happened to the last one
Prepare to get the same
Rise and Grind
Better keep up or get left behind
Rise and Grind
Stay silent and fall in line
And yet again we're forced to face the day
Wasting our life, draining our energy
But for what
Strictly for survival
They preach their truth while we're in denial
Running the rat race with no goal in mind
Clawing to reach the end
Where there is no prize
Trapped in this never ending cycle
Until we meet our demise
We're expected to take it all
Smile and keep your mouth shut
Pushing us to the breaking point
It's too much to hold
Do you have a purpose
Are you just biding your time
Here's the call
Break the line
Rise and Grind
Better keep up or get left behind
Rise and Grind
Now speak up
And Break the line
