You sit lock in your age – here in the hi-tech age
Lazy fools just taking up space

There was prosperity – it was good to me
Time of change – we've got an empty face

The despot throws a dime – ain't even worth the time
While laughing at the human race

I'm down upon my knees – can't you hear my pleas
100 years ago you'd given me a place

Sad survivor – ruled by the slave driver
Sad survivor – ruled by the slave driver

Hunger swamps my feet – no way it can be beat
Looking for a treat throughout the town

Inundate us – masticate us
Eliminate us – it even killed the clown

Live in a dreamless time – searching out a crime
Eyes so dull with grime staring down

Live to repeat the crime – time after time
The despot throws a dime – my life's a broken crown

Sad survivor – ruled by the slave driver
Sad survivor – ruled by the slave driver

Do you wanna survive – then while you're still alive
Better waste 'em before they get you

Get off your ass – before you mass
Getting late – ain't nothing else to do

Sad survivor – ruled by the slave driver
Sad survivor – ruled by the slave driver

Sad survivor – sad survivor – sad survivor – sad survivor
Sad survivor – sad survivor – sad survivor – sad survivor
