Nothing’s wrong with personality mixed with gravity
Monday to Sunday we got work to do n bills to pay
Silent victims of cards the world bombards
We’re all unique with different attitudes
Sometimes we step outta body into mind
It’s just a nervous breakdown

Under the Act we’re acting out boarded in
Under the Act can’t get out can’t get out
Torn apart with broken hearts
Dying for freedom to be rebirthed

They take snapshots over time n jot it down
Without your life story without even knowing ya
They wanna give you a label a diagnostic curfew
Schizo flippso polar bears n lost souls
You gotta knock down the nurses door just to getta coffee
The whole damn place is cursed all tryna get there first

Under the Act we’re acting out boarded in
Under the Act can’t get out can’t get out
Torn apart with broken hearts
Dying for freedom to be rebirthed

Laptops n phones charged up in metal lockers
It’s a shambles the best authority can offer
Occupational therapy doing puzzles like five year-olds
Plastic coated pillows and the list goes on and on
Wishin for cat eyes to see through this darkness
So if you’re gonna flip out, come join us

Under the Act we’re acting out boarded in
Under the Act can’t get out can’t get out
Torn apart with broken hearts
Dying for freedom to be rebirthed

You can see for yourselves the biggest head mash
Is happening behind closed doors
Detained with our remainsShackled n chained
Insane on their conveyor belt

Under the Act we’re acting out boarded in
Under the Act can’t get out can’t get out
Torn apart with broken hearts
Dying for freedom to be rebirthed

True dat you can’t take it with you when you’re dead

That tin roof over ya head

So might as well stick it out living in the rent trap

Working nine to five but never seem to get ahead

It’s just a slice of hell gift wrapped living in the rent trap

Listening to the dripping tap while you’re tryna take a nap

But mind the tiny gap with fences butted back-to-back

Neighbors dogs yappn…no wonder people start snappn

Can just about hear em bakin cakes with their mates

Pretty hard to meditate, no wonder people medicate

Drop acid n gravitate onto another planet

Cause when the soul’s deflated…suffocated broken down n stalemated

Rattles at the cage in this game of snakes n ladders

Tight rope walking losing the plot hearing them pennies drop

Twenty years onto three hundred grand down the friggn drain

It’s enough to fill a cattle train but who’s to blame

When the cost of living keeps escalating it’s debilitating

Especially when ya plain Jane pay packet never does change

Remains the same it’s so friggn lame like an ingrown toenail

Pulsating from prominent veins a reminder of your age

No degree always destined to be paying off them personal loans

Cause the zipper got stuck before trippn on them cobblestones

Demon’s laughin at ya…tossing tomatoes at ya

Wish you’d gotten wiser sooner instead you’re just a loser

Cause they suck you bone dry attract flies like biltong hung-in-dung

Lookin down at cracked screens on hand-me-down phones

Oh yeah there’s no gold stars for being top of the class

No clinked glass in the school of hard knocks

So you better start praying cause you’re gonna need a doc

Just ask Annalese about shared housing baked beans n ripped jeans

Cause that’s the trade-off for one day living the dream

Checkered n pink her fee aint cheap but she’ll help you to sleep

Counting those sheep go bleat bleat bleat before they’re slaughtered to eat

It’s infuriating watching interest rates rise as we fight inflation

Should be celebrating…silver-plating…not figure-skating

But can’t see that eventuating with so many fingers

Proddin at that porky pie…no wonder people flip out n cry

Run n hide tired of being disqualified

They advertise cheaper bills with solar cells

But only ten bucks back means more friggn lies

Never quite had enough to build a frame in your own name

And when it’s time to leave they wanna cause you more pain

Cut off your wiener n take you to the cleaner

It’s always their way or no way burning up the oven trays

With cheap walls brittle drawers paper floors n busted balls

Grey claws n stupid laws makes you wanna slam them doors

And break on through to the other side

Cause it’s all take take take & nothin’s ever justified

I say fuck the rubber gloves n draino

This aint a home it’s just an empty piggy bank

Treated like a bum like a tramp

Shoulda kicked back sculled Jamaican rum

Instead of scrapin at the scum…

Shoulda listened to your mum n kept your eye on the sum

Magnified the Tenant Ledger

But now the Landlord at your old place

Got her knickers in a twist sending emails with a clenched fist

Failed condition reports n threats of taking you to court

Makes you wanna hit eject hit abort trampled by that juggernaut
