Can't go back,
Can't slow down the pace,
The monster's got to be fed,
How far will you go, to keep yourself ahead?
In this race, they just never stop raising the stakes,
Competing against your own team,
Allied with the machine,
Each player for himself,
Doing what it takes,
Ambition's got a price, because we all want a slice.

Rotten by the grain,
Exhausted by the burden,
Symptoms of greed a spreading disease,
Blindly entertained,
Can't cope, with simple problems,
Number by naivety, complacency.

One by one, they collapse, they all fall down,
One by one, under pressure under stress,
They're caving in.

We sterilize,
Our differences we dull our brains,
It doesn't take a sixth sense to see,
That we're all living dead,
Each player for himself,
Repeating past mistakes,
Never taking blame,
Now watch us decay.

Rotten by the grain,
Exhausted by the burden,
Symptoms of greed a spreading disease,
Blindly entertained,
Can't cope, with simple problems,
Number by naivety, complacency.

One by one, they collapse, they all fall down,
One by one, under pressure under stress,
They're caving in.

You can't deny all the signs of a system that has failed,
I can't deny all the signs of a system that has failed,
You can't deny all the signs of a system that has failed,
I can't deny all the signs of a system that has failed, with me.

Rotten by the grain,
Exhausted by the burden,
Symptoms of greed a spreading disease,
A spreading disease.
