servos ad pileum vocare - (origional song feat. von)

the phrase servos ad pileum vocare is a call to liberty, by which slaves were called upon to take up arms with a promise of being freed.

its not necessarily appropriate here as the phrase was usually said by the owner of said slaves in effort to get them to help him in his military campaign, however just pretend it is Spartacus yelling it to his fellow slaves

waiting for your happy ending
living aint like on the silver screen
they just paint it with a smile
so youll miss the underlying themes

there aint no happy endings
the cards are dealt from the top of the deck
you dont get what you pay for
but you gotta pay for what you get

life is slavin at the grindstone
sweating bullets just to make your pay
so you can live a little longer
and slave away another day

cant afford to pay attention
much less afford to pay the rent
and when the piper comes ta callin
cant remember where your money went

it aint easy it anint easy
when it cost ya fifty cents just to make a fuckin dime
it aint easy it aint easy
when you gotta pay the man just to kick you in the can

this aint the way life is supposed to be
slaving away to feed your family
workin forty hours just to go back to work
and then you get home and eat shit for desert

then along comes the taxman
smiling ear to ear gun in his hand
he says, "never mind the pistol"
"im only here to help you, man"

but there aint no illusions
they take, you give
you have to pay the piper if you want the privilege to live

it aint easy it aint easy
when it cost fifty cents just to make a fuckin dime
it aint easy it aint easy
when you gotta pay the man just to kick you in the can
it aint easy it aint easy
every time you punch a clock they got their hands in your pockets
aint easy it aint easy
servos ad pileum vocare
