Lyrics

Verse

Wake up, it's six, and the grind begins,
Work for the car that you're driving in.
Round and round, it's the same old ride,
Burning your life just to stay alive.
Fridge is full, but the food goes stale,
Chasing the clock like a paper trail.
A cigarette breaks, a moment to cope,
But the price climbs high, even stealing your smoke.

Chorus

Run, run, in the wheel of life,
Round and round through the endless strife.
Laugh it off, but you’re screaming inside,
The wheel keeps turning, there’s nowhere to hide.

Verse

Pay the man with your blood and sweat,
Half your wage, and there’s nothing left.
Roads are cracked, schools are bare,
But they take it all, like they just don’t care.
They say the future needs your kids,
But who’d bring them to a world like this?
Dreams dissolve in the neon haze,
Another day in the same old maze.

Chorus

Run, run, in the wheel of life,
Round and round through the endless strife.
Laugh it off, but you’re screaming inside,
The wheel keeps turning, there’s nowhere to hide.

Bridge

We’re all just numbers in a broken plan,
Spinning faster, as fast as we can.
But the wheel won’t stop, it never will,
We’re just fuel for a bigger drill.

Verse

They sell you hope in a plastic jar,
Say, "You can be free if you work real hard."
But the chains are tight, and the locks won’t break,
Every step ahead feels like a mistake.
The sun goes down, but the wheel's still bright,
A neon glow in the dead of night.
Freedom’s a lie, a story untold,
They’ll keep us running 'til we’re too damn old.

End-Chorus

Run, run, in the wheel of life,
Round and round through the endless strife.
Laugh it off, but you’re screaming inside,
The wheel keeps turning, there’s nowhere to hide.
Run, run, till your legs give out,
Scream so loud, but no one will shout.
The wheel of life is a beautiful lie,
A circus act 'til the day you die.
