Is This What Were All Living For? by The Riptide Movement Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm about to loose control
Every night is medicinal
I get home, I’m late again
Is this how we thought our lives would be?
I toggle on the electric switch
And open up an empty fridge
A jar of Helman's mayonnaise
A heel of bread and oh there'll be days like these
[Pre-Chorus]
All I really know is, we’re just slaves
All I really know is-
It’s such a waste of our time, a waste of our lives
[Chorus]
Oh no, is this what we’re all living for?
No, no, no, no
[Verse 2]
I can't even make my rent
I'm working every hour sent
With my shit wage my money's spent
There's no more credit, no more lends
The landlord says he's sorry but
The banks have got him by the nuts
Its either me or him he says
So I'm back on the streets again
[Pre-Chorus]
All I really know is we’re just slaves
All I really know is-
It’s such a waste of our time, a waste of our lives
[Chorus]
Oh no, is this what we’re all living for?
Oh no, is this what we’re all living for?
Oh no, is this what we’re all living for?
No, no, no, no, no
[Bridge]
I don't wanna be like John and Cathleen
Working all my life for a grand old headstone
Are you working for your headstone?
Are you working for a headstone?
[Chorus]
Is this what we’re all living for?
Is this what we’re all living for?
Is this what we’re all living for?
Is this what we’re all living for?
I'm about to loose control
Every night is medicinal
I get home, I’m late again
Is this how we thought our lives would be?
I toggle on the electric switch
And open up an empty fridge
A jar of Helman's mayonnaise
A heel of bread and oh there'll be days like these
[Pre-Chorus]
All I really know is, we’re just slaves
All I really know is-
It’s such a waste of our time, a waste of our lives
[Chorus]
Oh no, is this what we’re all living for?
No, no, no, no
[Verse 2]
I can't even make my rent
I'm working every hour sent
With my shit wage my money's spent
There's no more credit, no more lends
The landlord says he's sorry but
The banks have got him by the nuts
Its either me or him he says
So I'm back on the streets again
[Pre-Chorus]
All I really know is we’re just slaves
All I really know is-
It’s such a waste of our time, a waste of our lives
[Chorus]
Oh no, is this what we’re all living for?
Oh no, is this what we’re all living for?
Oh no, is this what we’re all living for?
No, no, no, no, no
[Bridge]
I don't wanna be like John and Cathleen
Working all my life for a grand old headstone
Are you working for your headstone?
Are you working for a headstone?
[Chorus]
Is this what we’re all living for?
Is this what we’re all living for?
Is this what we’re all living for?
Is this what we’re all living for?
