Tema

Un comentario social directo que aborda el estrés mental y económico tras la **crisis/recesión financiera de 2008**. El narrador describe ser empujado al límite por perder su casa, dinero y ahorros, hasta el punto de sentir que se ha ganado el **'derecho a volverse loco'**. La canción contrasta este colapso personal con las declaraciones optimistas y engañosas de las autoridades ('La recesión ha terminado...'), sugiriendo traición y un colapso inevitable.

Letra

I barely get to the graveyard shift on time After pulling another grueling nine to five I live from credit card to check The paper money's whirling by And I hardly just, just barely Only just survive I'm living on the edge Reality is teetering My mind is on the brink How will I face the day tomorrow If I can't make it through today? I've got nothing left to lose But my sanity And the right to go insane I've got nothing left to lose But my mind I've got nothing left to choose So I think I'll go insane! My stomach aches Insufficient funds My cheeks are gaunt And my guts are overdrawn My head pounds Starvation's giving me the shakes Too much squalor, too much pressure Now I'm getting pissed! I'm living on the edge Reality is teetering My mind is on the brink How will I face the day tomorrow If I can't make it through today? I've got nothing left to lose But my sanity And the right to go insane I've got nothing left to lose But my mind I've got nothing left to choose So I think I'll go insane!
