On And On
S.F.A. Lyrics

On and on and on and on
The repetitive and unceasing nature of the singer's difficult life.

I never get a chance to catch my breath
The constant demands and pressures of the singer's life leave them feeling suffocated and unable to relax.

I'm working myself to an early death
The singer is sacrificing their health and well-being in order to earn a living, which is ultimately unsustainable.

I work every day from 9 to 5
The artist has a full-time job but finds it inadequate for supporting their family.

I make barely enough just to stay alive
Despite working full-time, the artist is still struggling to make ends meet and maintain a basic standard of living.

I'm feeling frustrated and I don't know why
The singer is struggling to understand the reasons behind their dire situation, contributing to feelings of hopelessness and despair.

I just sit and watch the system bleed me dry
The singer feels helpless in the face of what they perceive to be a corrupt and uncaring system which is exploiting them for profit.

No time for college, I got bills to pay
The artist lacks the time and financial resources to pursue education as a means of improving their situation.

I work my fingers to the bone for minimum wage
Despite working hard, the artist is still earning the bare minimum, which is barely enough to survive on.

Straight out of school to the employment line
The artist is forced to enter the workforce immediately after finishing school, rather than pursuing further education or training.

They say I ain't got no skills, I'm wasting their time
The singer feels undervalued and dismissed by their employer, who fails to see the potential in them or offer sufficient training opportunities.

I just got paid, my money's already spent
The artist's paycheck is immediately consumed by necessary expenses, leaving them with no financial security or ability to save.

My building's going co-op, so they raised my rent
The singer's housing costs are constantly increasing, making it even harder for them to make ends meet.

I can't afford to buy the things I need
The singer is unable to purchase even basic necessities, let alone anything beyond that.

My pockets are empty and I got kids to feed
The singer is struggling to provide for their children and ensure their well-being.

Tomorrow's gonna be like yesterday
The artist sees no hope for improvement in their situation and anticipates that the cycle of poverty and struggle will continue indefinitely.

Just deeper in debt with more bills to pay
The artist is increasingly burdened by debt, with little hope of ever breaking free from it.

Everything I own I'm forced to sell
The singer is resorting to selling their possessions in order to make ends meet, further eroding their sense of security and stability.

I'm not living in America, I'm living in hell
The singer's bleak circumstances and lack of opportunity lead them to feel that they are not truly living, but rather struggling to survive in an oppressive and unfair system.
