lyrics

My head is about to explode all over these cubicle walls
all the people turn their heads and say, there goes another one
You collect your things and end the day, to punch the clock you trade your face
to pass these locks you say your name, I'm planning my escape.
How about we just get this over with
another working stiff falling on the sword like a good boy
snort an ass for the cash with the smile fixed,
bend over for the boss as he's lubing his fist
go another round you'll be cooking up the sound,
you'll be slaying every crowd in this god forsaken town
but for now it's all talk, warehouse work in the lot
Wasting my time here, tasting my cold fear, reeking of misery, blanking on everything
everyday another debt to be paid forking out to bill collectors my minimum wage
a pound of flesh for a thin pay check, banking on cash that I haven't made yet
ask me for what I can pay, I'll be paying in regret,
ask me one more time and I will be faking my death.
Faking my debts - fake your fucking death -
Escaping my debts - escape your fucking debts -
If I am going out - You're going out -
I'm going out in my Sunday best!
Got a hand stamp, got a wrist band, smudged eyeliner, good morning sir!
Same underwear and a booze soaked shirt,
he looks down his nose, I'm not feeling too smart
Bleary and sore from all night stomping on the floor,
dragged out of bed just an hour before.
High gloss handshake, Fish belly hello, that's when he says that's as far as you go.
There's been some talk about certain websites you've been visiting on company time
this is unacceptable, you'll find that your security clearance has been rescinded
You 401k, pension and stock options are of course forfeit
security will escort you from the building, you are now officially terminated, thank you.
Wasting my time here, tasting my cold fear, reeking of misery, blanking on everything
Wasting my time here, tasting my cold fear, reeking of misery, blanking out.
Keep my head down, if I only knew how
something inside me wants to tear the world down
Keep my head down, if I only knew how
something inside me is fighting the crowd
Keep my head down, if I only knew how
something inside me wants to tear the world down
Keep my head down, if I only knew how
something inside me but I can't let it out
I wish I was cooler, I'd walk out on you losers, but I never bother, I'm blanking out.
