Another night-shifter goes quiet
But I push on with the conversation
Another sullen captive audience
This is the state of our once-great nation
As I queue up outside the station
Why can’t they be grateful
For the things we let them have
Don’t dare say I’m hateful
It’s just there’s nothing left to grab
In this world anymore
And they say “Have you been busy tonight?”
But they don’t listen to me
They say “What time are you on till?”
But they don’t listen to me
They say “Have you been busy tonight?”
But they don’t listen to me
They say “What time are you on till?”
But they don’t listen to me
I clock out with my orange-yellow light
I can’t drive at my own pace
Feeling drained as I end another night
Driving the same dirty back road back home
Stuck behind a basket case
And they say “Have you been busy tonight?”
But they don’t listen to me
They say “What time are you on till?”
But they don’t listen to me
They say “Have you been busy tonight?”
But they don’t listen to me
They say “What time are you on till?”
But they don’t listen to me
Faceless, opinion-less, patter-less, clueless
Empty suits and empty shoes
Stumbling, rumbling from the innards of the high life
This is my life, this is my life now
This is my life, this is my life now
This is my life, this is my life now
Slow down, slow down
