You're a well paid scientist
|
You only talk in facts
|
You know you're always right
|
'Cause you know how to prove it
|
Step by step
|
|
A PhD to show you're smart
|
With textbook formulas
|
But you're used up
|
Just like a factory hand
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Something is wrong here
|
You won't find in on a shelf
|
You're well paid
|
You're well trained
|
You're tied to a rack
|
|
Company cocktails-gotta go
|
Say the right thing
|
Don't fidget, jockey for position
|
Be polite
|
In the pyramid you hate
|
Sip that scotch
|
Get that raise
|
This ain't no party at all
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Cringe and tense up
|
Grind your teeth
|
And wipe your sweaty palms
|
Close your windows driving past
|
The low life company bar
|
They're making fun of you
|
|
AHHH
|
Even you
|
You've gotta punch the clock
|
Too scared to punch your boss
|
When will you crack
|
When will you crack
|
When will you crack
|
When will you open your eyes
|
|
Pull up to your sterile home
|
You're drained
|
Bite the heads off of your kids
|
Chew them well, they taste like you
|
Just slam the door
|
|
Assigned here 'cause your company owns the land
|
All your colleagues live there too
|
Private guards in golf carts
|
Keep you safe at home?
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
When will you crack
|
When will you crack
|
When will you crack
|
When will you crack
|
|
The dark shattered underbelly
|
Of the American dream
|
Avoid it like the plague
|
It stares you from your bathroom mirror
|
Drown
|
