These warehouse wages kill the end's introduction, man
I should have schooled it up when I was younger, shoulda stuck to plan
Always had the dreams of being more self assertive,
And my kid's a teenager now, he needs the health insurance
So break my body, break, break my soul down
Just another zombie walking blindly through your ghost town
Pull up to the bar to politic and tap the power,
Ain't nobody really all that jolly at your happy hour
But I don't want to go home yet
So I'ma talk to my cigarette and that television set
It doesn't matter what brand or station
Anything to take away from the current situation
No overtime pay, no holiday
Months behind on everything but the lottery
Winter 'round the corner guaranteeing that my car dies
Wifey having trouble trying to juggle both the part-times
My cup ain't close to filled up
We trying to build up so we can have enough
And when I finally get the color, won't be nothing left to paint on
A friend of mine tried to kill himself to the same song
My better half is mad at making magic out of canned goods
My tax bracket status got her questioning my man hood
My shorty got caught smoking weed at a concert
And if I smack him everybody treats me like a monster
My neighbors ain't doing much better and we making competition instead of sticking together
Can't save no nest egg–in fact, this nest is rented–in fact that rent is late, wait
The money ain't here, the raise ain't coming
Just me and my son and that crazy woman
And those bartenders, this whole fucking country
Got everybody swallowing that lunch meat
Well maybe we can speed up the process
Kill me in my thirties in the name of progress
Put me in the dirt and then change the topic
Sometimes seems like the only way to stop it
Contemplate my departure date
Doesn't take a lot to get a lot of us to talk this way
Take a shot at me, that's all I'm obligated for
Apparently my only guarantee is a walk away
The only guarantee in life
Is a life worth dying for
'cause death don't wait for no one
Sitting on your front door
I should have schooled it up when I was younger, shoulda stuck to plan
Always had the dreams of being more self assertive,
And my kid's a teenager now, he needs the health insurance
So break my body, break, break my soul down
Just another zombie walking blindly through your ghost town
Pull up to the bar to politic and tap the power,
Ain't nobody really all that jolly at your happy hour
But I don't want to go home yet
So I'ma talk to my cigarette and that television set
It doesn't matter what brand or station
Anything to take away from the current situation
No overtime pay, no holiday
Months behind on everything but the lottery
Winter 'round the corner guaranteeing that my car dies
Wifey having trouble trying to juggle both the part-times
My cup ain't close to filled up
We trying to build up so we can have enough
And when I finally get the color, won't be nothing left to paint on
A friend of mine tried to kill himself to the same song
My better half is mad at making magic out of canned goods
My tax bracket status got her questioning my man hood
My shorty got caught smoking weed at a concert
And if I smack him everybody treats me like a monster
My neighbors ain't doing much better and we making competition instead of sticking together

-makes me instantly think of The Walking Dead.. just a thought.
Other than that, this song describes perfectly all the bullshit in life. I love listening to this when I feel like life is absolutely impossible.
I feel like it is a song about people trying to survive in this horrid economy with absolutely no handouts and no help.
Apparently my only guarantee is a walk away"
It's a song about having nothing guaranteed from life but eventual death. There is implicit irony here as usually people speak of positive things being "guaranteed" and death is hardly considered a positive thing. At the same time the song lyrics suggest that the narrator's life is so miserable that the he know he has a death guaranteed for him is a source of relief.
"These warehouse wages kill the end's introduction"
I interpret as
"These warehouse wages kill the end [of my life]'s introduction"
i.e. even though the narrator is young, he is at the introduction to the end of his life; the stage where he's waiting for death. And in some sense his current living situation (and warehouse salary) have caused him to already have stopped living.
Also, I think that "Went around the corner guaranteeing that my car dies" is actually "winter round the corner guaranteeing that my car dies". Makes way more sense and sounds the same.
Sometimes, even when you can't handle life and you want to die, you stay alive just for that special person, just to make a better future for them.
"so break. my body. break break. my soul down. just another zombie walking blindly through your ghost town"
"anything to take away from the current situation"
"and when i finally get the color wont be nothing left to paint "
"well maybe we can speed up the process kill me in my thirties in the name of progress put me in the dirt and then change the topic "
"doesn't take a lot to get a lot of us to talk this way"
if that makes any sense at all
Dope shit though.
