twenty five to life

By Johny_D_Lewis



every day is the same
i'm so bored of this game
wake up, out the door
like the others, just a whore

wearing my blue collar
to earn that coorparate dollar
seven dollars and fifty cents
it doesn't pay the rent

life shoved into my face
trying to find my place
take it all to my heart
and it tears me apart

stuck in this day
forced here to stay
working my life away
every single day

twenty five to life
stabbed by a knife
every single day
forced here to stay.
