Priorities on a Shoestring
Alternative Rock
Lyrics
Description
[Verse 1]
You set a goal up on the shelf,
But left no funds, we fend ourselves.
Expecting dreams without a dime,
We work for you, unpaid in time.
[Pre-Chorus]
You say we’re the heart of change,
But empty pockets feel so strange.
[Chorus]
Priorities on a shoestring,
No cash to back what you bring.
With little pay, we carry on,
To make your vision, dusk till dawn.
[Verse 2]
We’re people, not machines you wind,
With heavy hearts and lives confined.
Promises don’t pay the bills,
Yet here we are, climbing your hills.
[Pre-Chorus]
Expecting blood from sweat and tears,
For dreams that linger, year by year.
[Chorus]
Priorities on a shoestring,
No cash to back what you bring.
With little pay, we carry on,
To make your vision, dusk till dawn.
[Bridge]
What a father, but it’s okay,
We’ll work and grind with little pay.
You’re the boss, you call the shots,
We’ll meet demands, no second thoughts.
[Verse 3]
We rise each day, our hands are tied,
You say to jump, we say "How high?"
We’re holding on through thin and lean,
To bring to life your fragile dream.
[Chorus]
Priorities on a shoestring,
No cash to back what you bring.
With little pay, we carry on,
To make your vision, dusk till dawn.
[Outro]
So here we are, standing tall,
No funds, no praise, no safety net at all.
We’ll push, we’ll strive, we’ll bend but won’t break,
For someone’s dream we didn’t make.
You set a goal up on the shelf,
But left no funds, we fend ourselves.
Expecting dreams without a dime,
We work for you, unpaid in time.
[Pre-Chorus]
You say we’re the heart of change,
But empty pockets feel so strange.
[Chorus]
Priorities on a shoestring,
No cash to back what you bring.
With little pay, we carry on,
To make your vision, dusk till dawn.
[Verse 2]
We’re people, not machines you wind,
With heavy hearts and lives confined.
Promises don’t pay the bills,
Yet here we are, climbing your hills.
[Pre-Chorus]
Expecting blood from sweat and tears,
For dreams that linger, year by year.
[Chorus]
Priorities on a shoestring,
No cash to back what you bring.
With little pay, we carry on,
To make your vision, dusk till dawn.
[Bridge]
What a father, but it’s okay,
We’ll work and grind with little pay.
You’re the boss, you call the shots,
We’ll meet demands, no second thoughts.
[Verse 3]
We rise each day, our hands are tied,
You say to jump, we say "How high?"
We’re holding on through thin and lean,
To bring to life your fragile dream.
[Chorus]
Priorities on a shoestring,
No cash to back what you bring.
With little pay, we carry on,
To make your vision, dusk till dawn.
[Outro]
So here we are, standing tall,
No funds, no praise, no safety net at all.
We’ll push, we’ll strive, we’ll bend but won’t break,
For someone’s dream we didn’t make.
