A cry from the bottom ants of China
Lyrics
[Verse]
Rust in the morning dirt on my hands
Sweat on my forehead I toil in these lands
Sunrise to sunset no rest for the soul
This grind's all I know and it's taking its toll
[Verse 2]
Factory whistle calls me by name
Faces in shadows all look the same
Clock keeps ticking never leaves me be
Steel and sorrow it's our destiny
[Chorus]
Pace picks up faster but the weight's the same
Resigned to this cycle of endless strain
Raise a glass high forget it for a while
But deep down we know it's a hopeless mile
[Verse 3]
Broken dreams littered like stones on this road
Nothing to carry no burden too bold
We push and we shove for bits to scrape by
Lost in the haze under a darkened sky
[Verse 4]
Nights full of questions no answers to hear
Whispers in corners voices of fear
Day breaks yet again same story unfolds
Born into struggle aged and then cold
[Chorus]
Pace picks up faster but the weight's the same
Resigned to this cycle of endless strain
Raise a glass high forget it for a while
But deep down we know it's a hopeless mile
