lyrics

The monthly quota / another kid in a cage
Skimming off the top
It’s a bleeding wound / it’s severance pay

Keep your head above water
In a sea of limbs lifted in praise
You sink and tithe (drowned and revived)
It’s a repeat offense
It’s an open and shut case

And are you on the take yourself?
Getting by, not getting help?
Fingers tied to palm the bribe
Holes in your hands not water-tight

The office sent it's condolences
Church family sent a tax-deductible gift
But corporate had to let him go
Caught him stealing their trash to feed his kids

You said, “I saw your post
And I want you to know you’re in my prayers and thoughts
I’d like to be there myself
But you know how it is asking for paid time off

Just don’t get too political
Don’t get too political or you’ll scare them away
Oh God, that’s what happened to Rage”
