lyrics

Faking jokes, Forcing laughs,
Everybody’s happy outside,
Everybody’s mad
Inside there’s Cake, That’s just great.
Salary’s can pay this, not a measly hour rate.
Small Talk and Proper Etiquette,
We say, “The food is great!”, while nobody touches it.
All Politics, Semantics (some antics),
Don’t say the wrong the thing,
Or else reality will hit this party,
Nobody can help when I scream,

“I’ve crossed the line!”
No wait, I’m fine.
I’ve had a little too much wine tonight, but I,
I hate you guys!
Your boring lives!
And I’m too drunk for lies tonight.

Guys talk sports, Girls talk clothes.
Let’s stick to the stereotypes that everybody knows.
Let’s know our place, not use haste.
That young temp’s been drinking and it’s really a disgrace.
White Lies will get us through the night.
We’ll go back to sleep when this office kills the lights.
All ignorance, passiveness, there’s no problems here…
In fact, we fired that drunk temp ‘cause what he said was filling us with undue fear.

“I’ve crossed the line!”
No wait, I’m fine.
I’ve had a little too much wine tonight, but I,
I hate you guys!
Your boring lives!
And I’m too drunk for lies tonight.

And as I stumble on this ledge,
Nobody saves me.
This office floor will be my bed,
Don’t try and wake me.
Goodnight coworkers!
Goodnight society!
Don’t wake me…
DON’T WAKE ME!
