lyrics

Shit I’m so late for my day job
No time to eat I just gotta get up and go
Sit in my grey box
And open all the pointless mass emails to my inbox
Bored to death staring at unchanging clocks

Large meetings waste everyone’s time
And payroll complications force my cards to decline
There’s no benefits
To losing all autonomy over your calendar
Crunching someone else’s crude numbers
Complacent comfort under
Corporate Cortisol

It’s finally lunch break my favorite part of the day I get to eat
The same bland tupperware meal that I prepped for the whole week
Headphones in people out don’t care about your new baby
Thirty minutes is up not even time to (pee)

Peaking to get you out of bed
Cortisol drops as the day goes by till your dead
Its found in your spit
And spikes whenever deadlines creep up making you submit
To overtime and lack of leadership

Fantasies thinking you could quit
But golden handcuffs and your pension never permit
Strapped in for the ride
Of having not one bit of your college degree applied
Trainings and protocols to comply
Complacent comfort under
Corporate Cortisol

Our instincts take unhappiness over uncertainty life’s easier
With a fat paycheck to boost ego and gloss over fear
Covering up all creative clues for your true passion
Fixed on your boss’s one way street with no traction

Sit down and take
Your daily dose of micromanagement from higher ups
Discrimination and mansplaining needs to interrupt
Dismantle teamwork cuz hierarchy is way more fun
Climbing social ladders till you realize your

Done with your duties for the day
Close up your spreadsheets file folders away
Escape
I get to sit in traffic alone all the way home
But there’s my phone
