lyrics

fight the wall in front of us
fight for an impossible escape
slaves killed by hunger
fight the wall in front of us
fight for an impossible escape
slaves blinded by anger
only bored a deeper hole in the rock
for the mine that will blow it all up
slaves to that gold chain wrapped around your neck
dragged down in debt

you get carried away
now you’ll never repay
this debt, this debt that you owe
you settle down, you settle for
this devil, this devil you know
fallen behind, barely started
fallen behind, dragged down in debt
slaves to that gold chain wrapped around your neck
dragged down in debt

it's what keeps you down
it's what keeps you up
this struggle is a very old war
Bonnot is outside, outside waiting
waiting with the getaway car

crime doesn't pay but neither does your job
crime doesn't pay but neither did your job
