[Verse 1]

Reality’s piling up
I keep a straight face but it’s calling my bluff
The pressure rains from above, from above

Some days I’ve just had enough
Throw down all my clubs
Take my ball out the rough
And run just like Forrest Gump
Forrest Gump

You can always run but you can never hide
The wolf at your door, just a matter of time
Oh put on a nice suit and stand in line
Anything for peace of mind

[Chorus]

It’s ridiculous
How you gonna live like this?
Slavin’ every day to make enough
Just to exist

It’s ridiculous
9 to 5 you want to quit
But the bills are due and
The pay cheque you can’t resist
It’s ridiculous
Forget about happiness
Take your crumbs and pennies
Shut your mouth get on with it

It’s ridiculous
Spend yourself for their wallet
The human race down on their knees
In the name of profit

[Verse 2]

Can’t stop right now, have to rush
So tired of telling myself one last push
Is it really worth so much?
Worth so much

The belly of the beast you can’t satisfy
No struggle left in you
Lord knows you have tried
Oh you have to give in just to survive
That’s how the system’s designed

[Chorus]

It’s ridiculous
How you gonna live like this?
Slavin’ every day to make enough
Just to exist
It’s ridiculous
9 to 5 you want to quit
But the bills are due and
The pay cheque you can’t resist

It’s ridiculous
Forget about happiness
Take your crumbs and pennies
Shut your mouth get on with it

It’s ridiculous
Spend yourself for their wallet
The human race down on their knees
In the name of profit

[Outro]

It’s all ridiculous
It’s ridiculous
It’s ridiculous
It’s ridiculous
