Everybody's Working For The Weak Lyrics
Strapped into the dent of a desk
Sick of all the pressure
Invested Pretense
I shuffle out to the deck
Where all the smokers sound off
One witness sighs in distress
Her sour face reflected in metal
Pulling from a pocket
I up and ask
And as she passes that flask
A sour face for all the
Sorrow replaced with alcohol
Everybody's working for the weak
And only when I sleep
Can I feel stronger
I don't care what you think
Cause I won't wait here
Too much longer
The two of us at two fifteen
The two of us in love
With Whiskey
Then in that moment we realize
Shivering in the cold
We've sold our souls
And don't even smoke
Everybody's working for the weak
And only when I dream
Can I feel stronger
I don't care what you think
Cause I won't wait her
Too much longer
Stop what you're doing now
What are you doing now?
Stop what we're doing now
What are we doing now?
Your world stops churning now
What are you doing now?
Stop what you're doing now
What are you doing now?
While everybody's working for the weak
You'll still be asleep
Knowing you got out
And don't care what they think
About those dreams you carry around
Everybody's working for the weak
I don't care what you think
Cause I won't wait here
Too much longer
(longer longer longer longer)
Sick of all the pressure
Invested Pretense
I shuffle out to the deck
Where all the smokers sound off
One witness sighs in distress
Her sour face reflected in metal
Pulling from a pocket
I up and ask
And as she passes that flask
A sour face for all the
Sorrow replaced with alcohol
And only when I sleep
Can I feel stronger
I don't care what you think
Cause I won't wait here
Too much longer
The two of us in love
With Whiskey
Then in that moment we realize
Shivering in the cold
We've sold our souls
And don't even smoke
And only when I dream
Can I feel stronger
I don't care what you think
Cause I won't wait her
Too much longer
What are you doing now?
Stop what we're doing now
What are we doing now?
Your world stops churning now
What are you doing now?
Stop what you're doing now
What are you doing now?
You'll still be asleep
Knowing you got out
And don't care what they think
About those dreams you carry around
I don't care what you think
Cause I won't wait here
Too much longer
(longer longer longer longer)

Love this song. Heard it live long before the Weekend EP came out and I tried to DL it. Im glad they finally released it. I'm seeing Hey Mercedes tonight with Piebald, should be awesome.
i think this song is about how sometimes people have to do things they dont want to do, even if it is killing them
It's about working for the man, man. Sneaking out to take swigs from a flask to make the day go faster. Bitchin' about your boss. The rat race.
