Lyrics

Twelve years of education And this is what I'm worth Back breaking labor I endure Every day to fill my purse A subordinate life not one I choose A hatred of the man that I answer to Disposable man that's all I am And there's a million more to fill the shoes I stand The American dream skipped me it seems Pointless by design a story with no theme There's a million more just like me Disenchanted unenthused Overlooked in the mindless shuffle To make way for something new I'm a face without a name I'm a man without a place After a lifetime of my loyalty On a whim to be replaced Twenty seven, Ivy League CEO With his job bought and paid for by his family's tow Bred to believe that he's above the rest While the sweat from my back is clearing all his checks A factory floor filled with human machines For minimum wage we sacrifice our dreams And while supply of this labor never meets demand The room for this injustice will only expand There's a million more just like me Disenchanted unenthused Overlooked in the mindless shuffle To make way for something new I'm a face without a name I'm a man without a place After a lifetime of my loyalty On a whim to be replaced Disregard my sacrifice Push me out in the cold Move my job south of the border While my family pays the toll I have silenced my contempt I've restrained my bitter rage Now I choke to death On these words I didn't say
