lyrics

I know you can’t forget it, now; I thought you had a plan.
Now they’re doing anything they can to slap your hand.
Procrastination gets the best of me and I let it drag me down.
Excuses have no consequence; I’m spinning myself into the ground.
I’ll take your number first and then your name
And you can file your grievance into the garbage can.
Your time is up, I must be blunt.
Get back to work you stupid... jerk.

I know you hadn’t noticed, but I thought you’d understand.
I bust my ass to see it goes exactly as you planned.
Recently my lack of interest muffles down my inspiration.
I could be scanning, learning, planning. Instead I stand and stare.
I’ll take your number first and then your name
And you can file your grievance into the garbage can.
Your time is up, I must be blunt.
Get back to work you stupid...
If what you say is really true,
And what I do is what you say I do,
Maybe we could avoid a whole cliché,
And maybe I would work another day.

I wish I could remain unnoticed, ducking the fog like you.
I’d pretend to do all kinds of things you’d never hope to do.
I’d stay around forever wondering why they pay me what they do.
I’d never have to worry ‘cause I’d take all the credit for work done by you.

I’ll take your number first and then your name
And you can file your grievance into the garbage can.
Your time is up, I must be blunt.
Get back to work you stupid...
If what you say is really true,
And what I do is what you say I do,
Maybe we could avoid a whole cliché,
And maybe I would work another day.
