lyrics

Every day I bring myself to wake, all work no play make the pay
I’m sick and tired of all these rules, of what to wear and what to say
I’m no pushover I ain’t nobodies slave, I won’t lie down and take the pain
I ain’t no fool and I don’t think you’re cool , I won’t work for you another day

I ain’t a number anymore, my hands are tired my feet are sore
This time I’m doing something for myself, you’re a cold hearted leader outta hell
The Dictator, Dictator of the first world
The Dictator, Dictator of the first world

On the dole just to sell your soul, they make you out to be lie
And you believe that you will never leave, enough to make a grown man cry
You wage a war, they label you as poor, you’re just a normal working guy
If we had wings they’d tie us to the ground , until we pay a license to the sky

I ain’t a number anymore, my hands are tired my feet are sore
This time I’m doing something for myself, you’re a cold hearted leader outta hell
The Dictator, Dictator of the first world
The Dictator, Dictator of the first world

I’ve had enough let me call your bluff, I wont be shackled anymore
I’ll break the rules and leave all of you fools, break these chains away from the floor
Somebody sold me and nobody told me, unleash my wings and take to flight
And they will stare as I ascend up there, trailing golden fire in the sky

I ain’t a number anymore, my hands are tired my feet are sore
This time I’m doing something for myself, you’re a cold hearted leader outta hell
The Dictator, Dictator of the first world
The Dictator, Dictator of the first world
I ain’t a number anymore, my hands are tired my feet are sore
This time I’m doing something for myself, you’re a cold hearted leader outta hell
