lyrics

A long day, a long drive
longing to be done
A done deal, a done drive
you don't know when your time is up

He hasn't eaten in days
all of this bullshit for minimum wage
How long until he gets paid?
Until he can say:

"I quit, I'm sick of it"
Talking in his head
What break? For god's sake,
when he retires he'll be dead

They said the job would improve
he gets the feeling that he's being used
What if he makes a mistake?
No more can he take

Like climbing up a pyramid
Like climbing up a pyramid
With no sight of the top

He's just a slave to the king
(we're all a slave to the king)
but he's the builder who made everything
let's drive this car through the door
the boss can't ignore

We're climbing up a pyramid
we're climbing up a pyramid
we're climbing up a pyramid

And don't tell me that you're okay
if you're only stressed out all day
maybe it's you who's been played

We're climbing up a pyramid
we're climbing up a pyramid
we're climbing up a pyramid
no sight of the top
