no open arms just an open mouth
i guess im supposed to prove myself
you’ve been here and there and i don’t care
but with any response i draw a stare
not gonna feel like your lab rat
in a rut again, they’ll offer you twenty
when they know you cant payback ten
subtract the interest from your worth
they cuffed you to your job at birth
not gonna feel like your lab rat
im sick of this tease and flirt
sick of boring snobs in skirts
time to hit the bricks and have a laugh
so don’t show unless youve got some class
im not gonna feel like your lab rat

>> On The Clock

buzzing blaring through my skull
the sun is up but i can’t tell
sneak the covers down my nose
eyes are sore gotta keep ’em closed
call in, no i’ve gotta go
its quarter past the buzz was slow
on the clock
down vacant walks i trudge and stumble
can collector catch me mumble
this stupid job won’t pay it’s dues
gotta cuff their stuff for gain
cause minimum wage isn’t much to lose
bussing blaring through your skull
the turnover rat is high in hell
pass the torch back and forth
sorry mom, but i quit that job

This ignorance is catching up with me
Dragging me down, disrupting my thoughts constantly
I’m sick of these games, I don’t know what to do
I’ll somehow find that way to disappoint you

(Like a needle through the heart)It hurts me so bad
(Like a needle through the heart)I can’t take this anymore
(Like a needle through the heart)It’s almost over now

Is this all one big joke to you?
Is that all this is just one big game?

(Like a needle through the heart)It hurts me so bad
(Like a needle through the heart)I can’t take this anymore
(Like a needle through the heart)It’s almost over now
(Like a needle through the heart)It’s all over now

The man on the television said I need to drink this,
and sleep with that, in order to be cool.
And you know that I would do almost anything,
to be like that guy on TV.
I know that if I had just the right outfit
and a hairstyle that could be me.
Don’t you know you can’t be cool if you dress dumb,
I need to have that ’cause everybody’s got one.
I think I’ll start smoking,
that would make me intellectual,
that’s what I’ve always wanted to be.
I need to lift weights,
that would make me more sexual,
and that would be good for me.

In America it’s wonderful,
all you have to do is fake it.
Own anything you want,
all you have to do is take it.
Live for today, don’t think about tomorrow,
have a good time in America-Gomorrah.

What are you looking at,
you better not make me mad.
I’ll drive by your house and shoot your dog, and mom, and dad.
I don’t need you or the Bible or anything to tell me what is the law.
With a good enough lawyer I can do anything in Beautiful America.

I want to be in America,
Okay for me in America,
everything’s free in America,
for a small fee in America.
