IRONCLAD

YOU SEALED YOUR FATE

All that shines shall fade in time

Welded put the day you signed

The Production Line

You better do your best

Forget about sunshine

'Cause you won't to see it where you're going

And the only thing you know is

You won't get to have your lunch on time

Or ever again

'Cause every second you spend

That isn't meeting an end

That an EXECUTIVE penne

Is another debt tha you render

That'll let them extend

Upon the lengtgh of your tenure

Where you're ever condemned

Well would you look at that

Life's coming thick and fast

I run and zig and zag amin the tat

Pick and pack

Bric-a-Brac

Chick and drag

Mix and match

Stick a stack in my sack

'Til it could fill a skip of scrap

Then bring it back quick as a flash

We're scrappy and resilient

We're happy and we 're diligent

but that's just if you're listening

To maekering transmissions

Contractually itinerant

A dastardly predicament

Entrapped within a system

Hauling scrap for the omnipotent

Voices in the radio

That point us in which way to go

The base we're excavating

What we're pain and them the pay we owe

Uncertain of the purpose

To the service that we're slaving over

Purge the lunar surface of its worth

To meet the daily quote

Some of us are living to work

Some of us are working to live

Some of us are making

While others are just taking

And some of us are dying to give

Whoop！yay！hooray！

Another day at the office

Slaving away and generating the profits

Heading straight for the pockets

Of the laziest bosses

lf it wasn't for me

Then they'd be making a loss

lt's a struggle working double shifts

Selling my soul

So my landlord doesn't have to do any at all

l'm clearly very important while you're merely a drone

Giving me steady employment

Just to dwell in a hole

That l can barely afford

Belly unfilled like oliver twist

Begging for more

I don't want to exist

No longer stomaching it

Wanna be somebody different

But i'm stuck as it is

So stuff it

Double my Shifts

Rub out the family time in your diary

Erase it all

They'll only hire me

lf l'll be reliably available

Yet l appear

Clearly

Entirely replaceable

The irony's l find it to be kind of inspirational

Anxiety will make you more inclined to reach a greater goal

Until you find me crying quietly against the wall

I miss my wife

I miss my kids

I miss my life

Can't live like this

Perhaps for once if salary

Might rise in line with rent

We'd have the funds to rise and shine

Not rise in line Content

To sacrifice our family lives

To those on high Hell bent

On empire founded on thousands

Drowned in the cement

l am the very model employee

I never leave my shuttle

Can't afford to pay those fees

My overtime does overtime

I work nine days a week

And I never hit that bottle

'Til it's time to take a pee

Some of us are making a killing

While some of barely makeing a living

Is a life worth saving

Without life savings？

Is a 9-to-5

25-to-life In peison

Lift off tick tock

The big clock's a-tlckin'

Drift in dropped off

At the drop ship's position

Sod tip top condition

A tip's what you live in

Drop shipping top tip

Tips will not be gives

With this cost of living what do lifes cost？

Well,the customer ain't fussed over the lives lost

We're discounted

Under the counter half off

In stocks at the gallows for the price drop

To rock bottom ba-da-da-dum

Sing thejingle give a whistle

Here's your lot plod on

It's official sacrificial

Sing the company song

'Fore they bop the stop-button on oxygen

Two guys moonlight on new moon nightly

Tryna find loot like

“OOH THAT'LL DO NICELY＂

Lamp

Cookie mold

Jar

Fish

Stop sign

Pan

Whoopie

Gold bar

Gift box

Mine！

No，mine！

NO，MINE！

Should you be hurt in our place of employment

It'll be worse than a band-aid and some ointment

There isn't a nurse with whom to make an appointment

There's really just certain doom

Painfully poignant

Each day tossed upon the scrapheap

Struggling to meet pay care to mind the gap

Cheap labour can be replaced

When there are fatalities

Several men a week slayed

Tumbling from the gantries

In what kind of dimension

Is debris so decrepit

Worth more than all the lives

Amongst the men you send to get it？

The minions pain a pittance

From the millions you inherit

And then billed for the equipment

'Fore they get to spent the credits

Have you had an ACCIDENT at work？

（That wasn't your fault？）

No you haven't

It absolutely was your fault

Some of us are living to work

Some of us are working to live

Some of us are making

While others are just taking

And some of us are dying to give

We all bought the production Line

We all toe the production Line

We all march in production Line

We all signed the production Line

It's a hell of a show

Better the devil you know

Just another shift

Try to keep a grip

Haven't slept a wink

and my vision starts to drift

We're here to sell you your soul

Next day and ready to go

Fillng up the ship

Just another trip

Maddened on the brink

In no position to resist

The wheels of progress they turn

So get ahead or go home

I got a quota to meet

Or else it's over for me

And when my rota's complete

Then l can hopefully leave

Just never question what burns

To run the engines below

We were sold on a dream

But now they won't let us sleep

Take a moment to grieve

And you'll owe them a fee

My school careers adviser couldn't be any nicer

She was just like

Might as well give up and die bruh

It isn't that likely we'll experience retirement

When staying alive's a minimum requirement

l've trained l've tried

'Til l'm strained l'm tired

l'd trade my trade for a train driver's

But l'm afraid that the end of the lien

Isn't a place l'll arrive 'til the end of my life！

l am the very model employee

'Cause l'm used to being toyed with

By those far bigger than me

Painfully aware my fate to bear's

As cog in a machine

Just one more face cast off to Space

For products on screen
