Rat Race
Get me out of this fucking rat race
It's giving me cancer in my balls
Or maybe that's the alcohol
Just one of my pitfalls
Sucking the dick of Mr Taxman
I'm whoring myself out
Is this responsibility?
I'm consumed with self doubt
Find me a deadly weapon
Michael Douglas, Falling Down
Or smoke weed for perspective
So I don't those guns to town
Contracted to the devil
I've signed away my soul
Window shopping for a new one
Desperately clinging for control
Should have had an exit strategy
Knew I'd cock this up somehow
An oversight in hindsight
But that doesn't help me now
Get me out of this fucking rat race
Truth be told I'm going mad
It's not all that it's cracked up to be
I feel like I've been had
Get me out of this fucking rat race
I've got an incoming brain tumor
I suppose that could be the smoking
It's hard to keep a sense of humour
Get me out of this fucking rat race
Factory reset - suicide
But this is real life not software
And nowhere left to hide

I've brought, traded and hodled crypto but I want to take a further step and support mainstream adoption through the process of earning and spending cryptocurrencies through the wider community.

Nice work! Really captures the feeling of modern day social enslavement!
