lyrics

There’s a knife at the throat of the ox pulling the plow and a payday somewhere else here and now. With an incentive to live, and a hefty price to pay and I’ve got no option to stray away.
Death at my back and treasure to the north. The splendors of labor were taken by force. With a false altruism at the end of a sword, beckon then to a war: Threats and Rewards.
Threats and Rewards, threats and rewards. I won’t play your game-oh no-pimps and whores. It’s up to me to see what’s in store, let’s even the score. Threats and rewards.
Guided by the nature of what it means to be a caring individual of forced courtesy. Legislate the kindness and morality with checks. By virtue a strong arm, coercive and flexed.
Deception spewing from every single pore and a mystery prize behind every door. With a sense of pride you never had before, you’d never do more without threats and rewards.
Threats and Rewards, threats and rewards. I won’t play your game-oh no-pimps and whores. It’s up to me to see what’s in store, let’s even the score. Threats and rewards.
