If you got time to lean Then you got time to clean Is what they told me But they don't own me They just own the only Thing that's keeping me alive They swear that's not a threat 'Cause I could always starve to death I guess I'll pledge allegiance to the paycheck So I'll sign the dotted line Cross my t's and dot my I's I'll say the customer's always right Cross my heart and hope to die Turn my frown upside down Lock my knees til I pass out Sold my soul for the payroll Just don't ask me why cause I don't know I just work here, I suppose I don't care You can burn it down as far as I'm concerned Call it apathy or maybe I'm just lazy I don't know But it's still me, myself and I against the world Maybe I'll win the lottery Buy myself a lobotomy Scoop out my brains and maybe then I'll blend right in with management Pretty, rich or talented You need two to make it I guess I'll just pledge allegiance To the paycheck They'll say that's just the way The real world works Everything's supposed to hurt They idolize self-sacrifice And demonize self-worth And all the while they'll just Sit back and ask why No one wants to work And we'll all have a hardy laugh Roll our eyes and catch our breath All together with our chest We'll send it back and tell them I don't know I just work here
