us what works best
[Intro]
0:07
Verse 1:
0:14
TV tells me I need it, ads say I deserve
0:14
Shiny things, endless dreams, pushing me to the curb
0:17
Swipe now, pay later, thrills that cost my peace
0:20
Interest hides in shadows, freedom slowly flees
0:23
Verse 2:
0:32
Cash flow looks friendly, “just a little spread”
0:32
Easy approval, one click, debt growing in my head
0:35
Impulse buys, flashing lights, want or need unclear
0:39
A world of timeless imperfection feeding fear
0:43
Pre-Chorus:
0:48
Thought I had freedom, but I’m trapped in the plan
0:48
Every payment I make steals a piece of who I am
0:53
Chorus:
0:59
Indentured for life, chained to plastic and lies
0:59
Paying with my freedom, paying with my time
1:04
Buy the dream, lose the truth, we all fall in line
1:11
Indentured for life, a slave to the fine print signs
1:17
Verse 3:
1:35
Deferred payments stacking, late fees sneak inside
1:35
Miss a single deadline, watch the numbers rise
1:39
Credit cracks, the cycle spins, burden never ends
1:42
They sold me a dream, now it’s my life they spend
1:44
Bridge:
1:50
We’re all believers in what’s planted in our head
1:50
Told we deserve it, can afford it, can’t live without it instead
1:56
We pay what we can’t, suffer in disguise
2:02
Indentured to the promise, freedom slowly dies
2:08
Chorus:
2:14
Indentured for life, chained to plastic and lies
2:14
Paying with my freedom, paying with my time
2:20
Buy the dream, lose the truth, we all fall in line
2:26
Indentured for life, a slave to the fine print signsFuture sold in monthly installments
2:32
We chase the illusion, paying with our soul
2:44
