Lead from the FrontBook of Elon

[Verse 1] Concrete for a pillow, I’m resting my head While the ghost of the bankruptcy paces the bed I wake up from terrors, the scent of the oil Is proving the prince and the pauper can toil I could buy my own island and buy my own peace But I’m outside the doors while the pressures increase Just a blanket and floorboards, a shivering sleep So the morning shift knows that the promise is deep If I ask for a hundred-hour week from the line Then a hundred and twenty is strictly design I’m tasting the metal, the grit in the lung While the critics are waiting to silence the tongue An ivory tower is a beautiful grave You can't sit in a crown and expect 'em to slave I’m asking for sweat, I’m emptying veins If the engine erupts, I’m going down in flames. [Chorus] ‘Cause nobody bleeds for the prince in the palace So I sleep on the floor 'til my body is callous If the team is in hell, then I’m burning alive If the ship's going down, I’m the first one to dive Yeah, I’m holding the line. Looking fear in the eye. Leave the comfort behind. Through the dirt and the lies. Close to breaking my mind. Take the bullets in stride. So the mission survives. I won't quit 'til I die. I won't quit 'til we thrive... [Verse 2] Talk about ego, talk about pride I pushed all the executive privilege aside No private parking, no corner office view If the line is in hell, then I’m burning there too A high ego ratio severs the loop It blinds you to reality, poisons the group So I smash my own statue, I break my own mold To weather the pressure, to suffer the cold You want them to march? You gotta stand in the mud We aren't just the math, we are flesh and the blood A manager delegates, hiding from grief But a general bleeds with the troops underneath I don’t manage the people, I manage the parts But I know that the victory comes from the hearts I internalize every mistake that we make I’m eating the glass for the company's sake. [Chorus] ‘Cause nobody bleeds for the prince in the palace So I sleep on the floor 'til my body is callous If the team is in hell, then I’m burning alive If the ship's going down, I’m the first one to dive Yeah, I’m holding the line. Looking fear in the eye. Leave the comfort behind. Through the dirt and the lies. Close to breaking my mind. Take the bullets in stride. So the mission survives. I won't quit 'til I die. I won't quit 'til we thrive...
