Sleep
W.M.D. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep

Day after day the same thing remains
Rinse wash repeat redundant defeat
Exploited by the corporations in power
Guilt of complicity while greed is showered

Work eat shit sleep
Corporate America
Your soul they will keep

Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep
Work eat shit sleep

Working 10 to 12 hour days value lowered
Destroying all our peoples integrity over
Shallow leaderless empire of power
The capitalism industrial complex

Looks like we all
Are in too deep
The land of the foolish
Lost little sheep
Work eat shit sleep
That's every motherfucking day for me




Every motherfucking day for me
Work eat shit sleep work eat shit sleep

Line by Line Meaning

Hey get out of your bed You're acting like a bore
Stop being lazy and boring


Everything's a mess Play it more hardcore
Life is chaotic, so face it head on with determination


Don't be playing dead We can hear you snore
Don't pretend you're not alive or asleep, we know you're not fully living


Sleep a little less and Dream a little more
Spend less time sleeping and more time pursuing your dreams


We're all in a bind It ain't so fucking fine
We're all in a difficult situation, and it's not okay


Get up and start moving 'Cause now is the time.
Take action now because it's the right time


Get it to the groove And start to bust a move
Get into a rhythm and start moving


Better shake your ass You've got nothing to lose
Be bold and take risks, because you have nothing to lose


Shit's running low It's all out fucking war
Resources are limited, and the situation is dire


Time to sleep a little less Dream a little more
It's time to prioritize your dreams over sleeping


So what you gonna' do It's up to fucking you
You're in control and it's your choice what to do next


Time to make a stand And a freaking plan
It's time to take a decisive action and create a solid plan


Backs up to the wall We are all kinda' sore
We're all under pressure and struggling


Time to sleep a little less Dream a little more
It's time to prioritize your dreams over sleeping

that background animation actually reminds me of when i was 10 and my older sister was 18. almost every night we would stay up in the living room either taking turns on donkey kong or twilight princess. we would have the best times and laugh so much. my sister ended up getting married and moved out that year. i’m now about to turn 18 next month and some nights i stay up playing games with my baby sister, thinking back on those memories of when everything was simple.

You can be like your older sister for your younger sister,you know?

@lincolncanahui3505

I know how it feels. I remember after my dad got off of work we would always play split screen on mw3 survival mode or bo2 zombies and try to play everyday before he deployed. Unfortunately every story’s needs a end and my parents divorced and he now lives in Virginia.
