For over half her life she's worked from 9 to 5,
|
Crossing T's and dotting I's the neon lights can't hide,
|
That she's lost her shine.
|
She says the mornings taste like turpentine,
|
She said she understands the point of sacrifice,
|
And so should I.
|
|
Pay cut but it's a paycheck.
|
Surviving is my best revenge.
|
What hurt you once won't hurt you again.
|
She meant what she said.
|
|
Weathered lines across her face were an even trade.
|
Finger prints worn down from overwork,
|
And underpay at minimum wage.
|
She said the overtime is worth these aches and pains.
|
But is it worth the precious time that ticks away?
|
Every second everyday.
|
|
Pay cut but it's a paycheck.
|
Surviving is my best revenge.
|
What hurt you once won't hurt you again.
|
She meant what she said.
|
|
She said woah-woah... [x4]
|
|
For over half her life she walked the straightest lines.
|
She only wanted to provide a future,
|
For my brother and I.
|
|
Pay cut but it's a paycheck.
|
Surviving is my best revenge.
|
What hurt you once won't hurt you again.
|
She meant what she said.
