Atreyu - Live To Labor Lyrics
In the cold dead of night
Wrest your self from sleep
To face the morning light
So Pathologically
Trapped in a system that breaks originality
Middle of a long day
Turns into working long weeks
What are we doing this for
Whose fucking stocks will increase
At times we're all just little junkies and whores
Clawing scratching unattainable dreams
How much can we take
To labor and to break
I say smash it fucking down
In control of our fate
We produce and we create
The guns from which we sell our souls
I say smash it fucking all
How ironic is the plan of our lives
Working doubles to survive, to get by
A passionless job in a meaningless lie
I despise being trite to get by
What do you offer?
What can you create?
What do you contribute?
What profit is made?
How much can we take
To labor and to break
Our backs against the system's walls
I say smash it fucking down
In control of our fate
We produce and recreate
The cost for which we sell our souls
I say smash it fucking all
I say smash it fucking down
Smash it fucking down
How much can we take
To labor and to break
Our backs against the system's walls
I say smash it fucking down
In control of our fate
We produce and we create
The guns from which we sell our souls
I say smash it fucking all
I say smash it fucking all

Atreyu Live To Labor Comments
1.25 speed, you're welcome
I'm so glad to hear Alex at the forefront in a song again.
Damn Dan Jacobs (lead guitarist for the uninitiated) can fucking shred! I'm new to electric and it's so hard to play at his pace.
Anyone in 2017 jamming?
Excelente canción Long live Atreyu!
i love this song
That solo was amazing!
So happy Atreyu finally released something. It feels like such a long time since I listened to their music and I'm very happy to be listening to them again
omg this band saved my life and helped me not to cut myself omg
Long Live Atreyu!
welcome back buds!
My fuckin favorite. Love how unrelentless this song is. Holy shit.
Was wondering how long it was gonna be till Atreyu came back. Loved The Curse first got into them with that record, but I like the new sound. It sounds fresh.
I've been waiting so long for atreyu to come back I'm glad they have. Still kickass!
the lads are back loving it, gone back to brutal......fuck yea....* metal horns in the air*
Does anybody knows what the lyrics in the first verse are?
amazing album ;-)
That fucking solo
This and long live are my favorites on the album. Solid album in all
What a ripper!
This song sounds incredible :D Long Live Atreyu
I love Atreyu!
Spin kicks for days.
beginning reminds me of Doing Time by Avenged Sevenfold, i know its not but kinda?
+El Zeta Omg. Just go away. This is metal, metalcore is just a subgenre of metal.
+BombTastiC- Seriously, people always complaining about what is metal or what isn't haha shit! The way I see it, there's rock and metal, add hard rock and heavy metal, and that is seriously all we need. All this really is, is modern metal lol. But no, there's technical douche bags fucking up everything, for what metal is... sure seems to be a shit ton of whiney fucks who listen to it lmao!
+Zach lovett peoplee pls , i love metalcore , sorry for the confusion :(
very punk sounding song the way they are using power chords and the skip beats on the drums. I don't hear doing time as that song is a rip of GNR in its prime
My thoughts exactly
This song and this band is amazing, Atreyu has helped me through a lot of bad times. My life is a lot better when I listen to Atreyu. And I don't expect you to read this, but I love you guys. And uh, yeah.
hell yeah dude totally feel you there the first song I listened to them was bleeding mascara that was my jam and got me through so much shit
Honestly, I don't expect the guys to read this but I feel the need to share it. I've been listening to this all day while working on my data analysis - Atreyu is the music by which science gets done. Way to go gentlemen and welcome back!
+Abhorsen6930 I'm a programmer, most of my shit gets done listening to "The black dahlia murder" (or some death metal in general) or Radiohead. Don't know why but the absolute chaos in that music helps me out.
I love this but I really think "Start To Break" is the best song on the album so far.
awesome!!
