Fuck this wasteland, I'm running away
Towards greener pastures, dignity and better pay
Death and taxes, the only sure things in life
Work hard and pay up - that's the drill, no end of this fucking strife
I've lived here since I was born
Others look at me with scorn
Toiling my best years away
Tons of stress and shitty pay
Mass exodus, no return, two millions and counting
No work and no perspectives, survival - that's the thing
No cash for a home, no money to raise kids
Big business rules here with antihuman politics
I've lived here since I was born...
Make more money and drown us all
Less protection - more control
With our rights let's do away
And let the big shots have their pay
Destroy the fabric of society
Make life harder for you and for me
I've endured it all my life
I have no more strength to fight
Gotta leave it all behind
I'm packing up, it's leaving time
Fuck this wasteland, I'm running away
Towards greener pastures, dignity and better pay
