You Wanna Know What

(album: Rats In The Burlap - 2015)

You wanna know what?
I really couldn't give a fuck!
About the drivel that you're
Spilling in my ear, you're
Just another 'Yes Man'
Stressed and tired
Just another Simple Simon
Gotta get away from here!

You wanna know why?
We really don't see eye-to-eye?
Because your values lack a proud integrity
You're always towing the company line
Got no time to think of others
Mowing down the line to your
Next atrocity!

Maybe some day
We'll know the reason why
But don't hold your breath for it
Could be your death!
You're waiting with meat hooks out
Snatch what you can get
While we're too busy
Starving to survive

You wanna know how?
You're still alive, here and now?
Because you've never risked
A thing or strayed away
Only burning what you earn
Your loss is getting lower
Just a matter of time before
You become someone else's prey

Maybe some day
We'll know the reason why
But don't hold your breath for it
Could be your death!

You're waiting with meat hooks out
Snatch what you can get
While we're too busy
Starving to survive!
Yes we're too busy
Starving to survive!
