Bootscraper Lyrics

Watch the broken common man

 Drown his sorrows at unhappy hour.

 Dirty and sweaty

 With just enough to get by.

 Calluses on his hands calluses on his soul

 Hard-boiled son of a bitch

 Scraping away on the down hill grind.

 It's a means to an end, a mean end for most.

 Death and domestication ends in shattered hopes

 Can't see the hand at the other end of the leash.

 Turn and bite.

 Turn and bite the hand that bleeds you dry.

 Throw yourself a bone, no one else will.

 Compromise leads to self-loathing

 Money the excrement of labor.

 And you don't get to keep shit

 Except politics and power trips

 and a bad breath down your neck.

 I know

 For I have toiled in the halls of the mighty

 And not received a teardrop in a bucket.

 Motherfuck it.

 The world doesn't owe me a thing

 But you do (Motherfucker).

 So crooked when you die

 they're gonna have to screw your ass into the ground.

 As life slowly unravels

 Rise above, extract your life.

 Will you look within

 Then turn around and bite?

 Day by day the mask suffocates your life

 Is this any way to live?

 No fucking way.
