The Force Majeure
BoySetsFire Lyrics

On shift from nine to five Then from six to three
Working long hours from morning till evening, tirelessly putting in the extra hours to provide for family, with no time for personal life.

Steals the soul machine forever tuning
The monotony of routine work and the burden of capitalist machinery has stripped the working class of its spirit, reducing them to mere cogs that run the capitalist machine.

Class rebellion Under our noses The boss is feeding on the living corpses
The working class is oppressed and exploited by the ruling class. The capitalist class is quietly benefiting from the toil of the common man, while the workers remain unaware of their oppression.

Their broken backs Call for us to rise But for now we'll all just smile and sympathize
The working class has been reduced to one with broken backs and spirits, crying out for help. But for the time being, we ignore their plight, failing to rise for the cause.

Denied movement Now lost replaced by fear We ask nothing less then settle for nothing more
The right to protest has been denied, and the working class lives in constant fear of reprisal. They demand more and won't stop fighting until they receive the freedom and benefits they deserve.

Behold the capitalists Bathing in the blood Of the working class
The ruling class is ruthless, callous, and indifferent to the suffering of the workers. They continue to amass wealth by exploiting the labor of the common man.

Martyrs bleed Until spoken to Vultures get fat from the harness coup
The workers suffer, bleed and die to benefit the capitalist class, who continue to profit from their labor and betray their ideals.

Revolution Another empty promise Of the leftist elite
The promises of revolution made by political leaders are empty and unreal, serving only to further their own goals and gain power.

Frustration Another soul is crushed Under the rulers feet
Another worker's hopes and aspirations are crushed by the ruling class, who use policies and laws to maintain their grip on the working class.

And as the boot is forced Into their teeth Our safety Is their defeat
The ruling class will go to any lengths to maintain their power, even if it means crushing the workers, but they cannot achieve complete safety until the workers have been completely defeated.

Your station has been assigned Your rebellion is well confined
The hierarchy is set in stone, and any attempt to challenge it will be met with suppression and violence.

Tired doctrines Killing just as many As the leaders that they decry
The working class is not united and often kills its own people in the name of doctrine while criticizing the ruling class for acting in their own interests.

Their backs All well patted For a job well done
The workers get no recognition or appreciation for their contribution to society, and their efforts often go unnoticed.

Without The use Of their spies
The leaders have no knowledge of the struggles faced by the common man and therefore have no ability to help them with their struggles.

Attention servants Put down the shackles Callused hands and drying hearts
It is time for the working-class to recognize their own oppression, set aside their differences and take hold of their freedom, healing their spirits from years of neglect.

Rise up and destroy The disease that stole your soul
It is high time that the workers band together, rise up against their oppressors, and put an end to capitalist exploitation before it steals away their remaining hopes and dreams for a better life.
