Cover art for Busy Bein' Born lyrics by Middle Class Rut (MC Rut)

Lyrics correction: The days keep draging on Those rafts keep pushing on whoa

The slowest race around We all just race around whoa

and when the hope's gone the weight falls on me

yeah, when i'm gone the weight falls on me no sense in signing up, you're names already in go ahead, yeah fuck it up, the next guy pays for it

coz what i get aint half of what i give and that don't suit me anyway (repeat)

maybe i sacrifice to feel like I'm alive pennyless, it's all the same at least i'll die with a name

I ain't dead yet

Give it back We're all dead yet

Give it back We're all dead yet

We're all dead yet

maybe i sacrifice to feel like I'm alive pennyless, it's all the same at least i'll die with a name

maybe i sacrifice to feel like I'm alive pennyless, it's all the same at least i'll die with a name

I ain't dead yet Give it back

We're all dead yet give it back we're all dead yet

and when the hopes gone the weight it falls on me when I'm gone the weight it falls on me

and when the hopes gone the weight it falls on me yeah when I'm gone the weight it falls on me

Lyrics correction:

It's not "we're all dead yet", it is "or I'll take it" i.e...:

give it back, or I'll take it

Which also makes more sense with your interpretation
