idk i just work here

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
