Текст песни A Guy Named Lou - The Meritocratic

Оригинальный текст песни The Meritocratic

You have been weighed, you have been measured,
Just to check if your performance meets the scheme,
Classified and categorized,
Their path can get you anywhere it seems,
Hard work and dedication that’s what you’ve been told,
Would lead you to the top but now you feel sold.

Chorus:
This is for all the songs you couldn’t write,
Cause you were working 9 to 5,
We are not in charge of our own lives,
A picture in progress turning grey,
The source of creativity fading away,
A year only full of chores leads to decay.

Verse:
To maintain a work-life balance?
I only know I’m still alive while I’m at work,
Feeling haunted in your so called free time,
Part time identities, in conflict with yourself,
Same opportunities for all from the start,
A toxic lie to young and passionate hearts.

Chorus:
This is for all the songs you couldn’t write,
Cause you were working 9 to 5,
We are not in charge of our own lives,
A picture in progress turning grey,
The source of creativity fading away,
A year only full of chores leads to decay.
