Lyrics
Ah, I'm working my fingers to the bone these days
Looks like nothing's gonna' come my way
I'm going through the motions and anxiety
Think I'm losing my spot in society
Rage
It's building up inside
Overpowered by a storm of lies
Rage
A roller-coaster ride
I'd rather turn up the music, dancing through the night [repeat]
Ah, piling up coins to pay for groceries
But it's nowhere enough to get by
Another dime, another nickel, way to fickle
And it won't buy me a castle in the sky
Rage
It's building up inside
Overpowered by a storm of lies
Rage
A roller-coaster ride
I'd rather turn up the music, dancing through the night
