Well Paid Scientist
Youre a well paid scientist, you only talk in facts
You know youre always right
Cause you know how to prove it, step by step
PhD to show youre smart with textbook formulas
But youre used up, just like a factory hand
Something is wrong here
You wont find in on a shelf
Youre well paid, youre well trained
Youre tied to a rack
Company cocktails gotta go
Say the right thing dont fidget, jockey for position
Be polite in the pyramid you hate
Sip that scotch, get that raise, this aint no party at all
Something is wrong here
You wont find in on a shelf
Youre well paid, youre well trained
Youre tied to a rack
Cringe and tense up, grind your teeth
And wipe your sweaty palms
Close your windows driving past the low life company bar
Theyre making fun of you
Ha! Even you, youve gotta punch the clock
Why dont you punch your boss?
Ah, even you, you just punch the clock
Too scared to punch your boss
When will you crack?
When will you crack?
When will you open your eyes
Open your eyes, open your eyes?
Pull up to your sterile home, youre drained
Bite the heads off of your kids
Chew them well, they taste like you, just slam the door
Assigned here cause your company owns the land
All your colleagues live here too
Private guards in golf carts keep you safe at home?
Something is wrong here
You wont find in on a shelf
Youre well paid, youre well trained
Youre tied to a rack
When will you crack?
When will you crack?
When will you crack?
When will you crack?
The dark shattered underbelly of the
American dream
Avoid it like the plague
It stares you from your bathroom mirror, drown!
