Buy Your Time versuri

Versuri Thesaurus Rex – Buy Your Time lyrics

Six feet below me is six feet away from me
Mistreat a second, you’re risking a legacy
Live on the drip of a fixed stream of money
The life of a lab rat, a big screen in front of me

You’re gonna see, you’re gonna see the end of it
Vision of a future, but you can’t seem to render it
Surrender it, surrender it
It won’t be evident, it’s imminent
Until you’re at the end of it

You got time—waste it away, right?
Find a middle manager and sell him your daylight
You’re saving, you’re an hour behind
You’re a half penny short
And baby, money is time, and

Your whole purpose is to be worthless
And that’s not by mistake, it’s all by design
You’ll make it by, and they’ll make you buy your time

I wish I was wrong when I was thirteen
When I hated every second of the wrecking machine
I wish I grew up to learn it was actually
More than a tax-funded apathy factory

But actually, it’s sad to see
The kind of wickedness you’ll stomach
When they’re paying your salary
The malice and the fallacies
If you can palate being callous
You’ll be valuable—but tragically

Your whole purpose is to be worthless
And that’s not by mistake, it’s all by design
You’ll make it by, and they’ll make you buy your time

Fish gets a tank, a bird gets a cage
A dog gets a leash, and you get a wage
A fish gets a tank, a bird gets a cage
A dog gets a leash, you get a wage

A fish gets a tank, a bird gets a cage
A dog gets a leash, and you get a wage
And it’s never enough to pay for the days
That you wish you had back
Baby, you sold them away

I’m gonna see, I’m gonna see the end of it
Vision of a future, but you can’t seem to render it
Surrender it, surrender it
It won’t be evident, it’s imminent
Until you’re at the end of it

Your whole purpose is to be worthless
Your whole purpose is to be worthless

Your whole purpose
(A fish gets a tank, a bird gets a cage
A dog gets a leash, and you get a wage)
Is to be worthless
(A fish gets a tank, a bird gets a cage
A dog gets a leash, and you get a wage)
And that’s not by mistake
(A fish gets a tank, a bird gets a cage, a dog gets a leash)
It’s all by design
(And you get a wage, ready get set, it’s on the way!)

You’ll make it by, and you’ll make it by
And you’ll make it by, and they’ll make you buy your time
