Bassment - Casual Contract lyrics

rate me

I have my freedom - it's of no consequence -

But nonetheless my freedom is my first defence

I feel it sliding away from me, it can't protect me from this twisted destiny

I falter in my stride I can't defy it, I can't deny

That I could keep doing this, I could stay here

And of all the things in life this is the one that fills me with fear

I have my freedom - it is my first defence -

But I keep on earning which is just common sense

In this position common sense is a commodity,

It's not innate, it's bought and sold like property

So I can sell mine at a mark-up on the market

While my senseless self goes on to reach my sales targets

I sold my soul to the devil, what can I say?

I sold my soul to the devil, but at least I get paid...

I had my freedom - it was my last defence -

But they broke it down slowly like they did with all the rest

And now it's too late for me to contemplate escaping

Because it's only now, with open eyes, I see what's really happening

So now I falter in my stride I don't defy it, I don't deny

That I will keep doing this, I'll just stay here

And of everything in life this is the only thing I fear.
