Slave to the Grind - Halestorm

You got me forced to crack

my lids in two

I'm still stuck inside this 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 '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

I won't be the one left behind

You 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

They swallowed thier daggers by

turning their trick

They tore my intentions apart

brick by brick

I'm sick of the jive

You talk verbal insecticide

They swallowed thier daggers by

turning their trick

They tore my intentions apart

brick by brick

I'm sick of the jive

You talk verbal insecticide

I won't be the one left behind

You can't be king of the world

If you're slave to the grind

Tear down the rat racial slime

You can't be king of the world

If you're slave to the grind

I said slave to the grind

Slave to the grind

Slave to the grind
