lyrics

Black and blue
Black and blue
Black and blue

Frustrated with the state of stagnation
I decide which rules I abide (alright)
A killer outlook not always predictable
Leave it to death to defy

Working unpaid overtime so they can all get richer
That's not a heart beat, it's a fucking stock ticker
Self-serving Boomers, they tell us what to do
Blame the outsourced worker, but they just want the same as you

Children at play under glass ceilings
Children at play
Children at play under glass ceilings
The cost of living's worth more then your life

A young man rings a bell
Commence feats of strength then a breach of trust
Watch as ideals for the future go up in smoke
Need fire, not dust

Higher education was just another caper
You gave us all jobs pushing buttons and paper
How are the TV kids so rich and pretty
When I'm a background player in this cold dark city

Children at play under glass ceilings
Children at play
Children at play under glass ceilings
The cost of living's worth more then your life

A slight misstep from the onset
A paradigm shift the cause for the conflict
Way past the point of consequence
A quenchless thirst for self-indulgence

Blood stains remain no matter how much you clean
Everybody’s got the blues, but no ones got the green
Forty years of this feels like the barrel of a gun
Are you really giving up when there's nothing to be won

Black and blue
Black and blue
Black and blue

Black and blue (Children under glass ceilings)
Black and blue (We're completely unfeeling)
Black and blue (Children under glass ceilings)
The cost of living's worth more than your life
