lyrics

Grey concrete walls
The ziggurats frown at me
Grey concrete walls
While there's no guarantee
It's just the first degree
I'm tired of fighting against it all
But still I carry on

Grey concrete walls
Hunger masks the continued strain
Grey concrete walls
Stealing to survive
Work all day and all night
Day by day suffer much the same
But still I carry on

(Chorus)
It was supposed to be the time of my life
A time to celebrate a life in its prime
That's not how it was for me
But with all things said and done
I made the other side
With the battle won

Grey concrete walls
Forced to play the education game
Grey concrete walls
Too tired to think and write
Stress overcomes the night
The support I get keeps me sane
And still I carry on
