Slave to the Grind Songtext

von Skid Row

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Slave to the Grind" von Skid Row handelt davon, in einem festgefahrenen System gefangen zu sein und den Wunsch zu haben...

You got me forced to crack my lids in two
I'm still stuck inside the rubber room
I gotta punch the clock that leads the blind
I'm just another gear in the assembly line-oh no

The noose gets tighter around my throat
But I ain't at the end of my rope

CHORUS
'Cause I won't be the one left behind
Can't be king of the world If you're slave to the grind
Tear down the rat racial slime
Can't be king of the world if you're slave to the grind.
Get it?

A routine injection, a lethal dose
But my day in the sun ain't even close
There's no need to waste your prayers on me
You better mark my words 'cause I'm history.
Yes indeed

You might beg for mercy to get by
But I'd rather tear this thorn from my side

CHORUS
They swallowed their daggers by turning their trick
They tore my intentions apart brick yb brick
I'm sick of the jive
You talk verbal insecticide

CHORUS
I said slave to the grind
Slave to the grind
Slave to the grind
