lyrics

Breathe in the air
And choke on the guilt
None of us deserve
What those before us built
Cuz we sell ourselves
At bargain costs
While a million lookalikes
Could come and do our jobs
And we wouldn't feel robbed

Everyone's replaceable
You don't produce, someone will
As for me, I lose my breathe
And take it all too serious
I want to make a real attempt
To have a home no one can rent
A spot that's mine and mine alone
A life that lives beyond a song

There's so much more
Than we leave time for
It's over in a blink
You better push life to the brink
Cuz you're gonna have to die
It's a fact you can't deny
Before you are erased
You better go and stake your claims
Do it today

Everyone's replaceable
You don't produce, someone will
As for me, I lose my breathe
And take it all too serious
I want to make a real attempt
To have a home no one can rent
A spot that's mine and mine alone
A life that lives beyond a song

The sooner that we all see
That we're nothing
The quicker we can move on

Everyone's replaceable
You don't produce, someone will
As for me, I lose my breathe
And take it all too serious
I want to make a real attempt
To have a home no one can rent
A spot that's mine and mine alone
A life that lives beyond a song

Everyone
Everyone's replaceable
