Class Dismissed - Affiance

Broke and burdened

By the debt you persuaded us to bear

Hard and calloused

There’s nothing left but animosity

We’re slipping through the crack

Our time has passed us

And we will be forgotten if we

Give up hope

I’m finished

Being your puppet

I will not take your orders

Anymore

You’ll never know what it’s like

To labor as we have

It’s only a matter of time

Before we toss you off our backs

I’ve earned the right to speak and say

What I mean

We pave your roads.

We haul your trash

We fight your wars.

Show some respect

You are nothing without me

You’ll never know what it’s like

To labor as we have

It’s only a matter of time

Before we toss you off our backs

You need to need to know what it’s like

To labor as we have

It’s only a matter of time

It’s time to knock you on your ass

When the weight of the world is on your back

Feels like your spine could snap

When you fight so hard

To stay afloat

Just stay afloat

Don’t give up hope!

Just stay afloat

Don’t give up hope!

I’m finished

Being your puppet
