[Verse]
Blood-sweat mornings we break for the grind
Every cent stolen every cent signed
Paper trails vanish into the haze
Where's it go in this bureaucratic maze
[Chorus]
Taxed to death but for what cause
Broken roads and faceless laws
Pouring gold into endless drains
Our sweat feeds their endless gains
[Verse 2]
They take from the poor to feed the elite
Dreams crushed beneath the cold concrete
Promises lost in the echoing halls
While we watch the system crumble and fall
[Chorus]
Taxed to death but for what cause
Broken roads and faceless laws
Pouring gold into endless drains
Our sweat feeds their endless gains
[Bridge]
Building monuments to their own pride
While the common folk barely survive
Spending fortunes on empty campaigns
While we drown in their endless chains
[Chorus]
Taxed to death but for what cause
Broken roads and faceless laws
Pouring gold into endless drains
Our sweat feeds their endless gains
