For the most part first of all
You're last and you're the least
Stand here, there's a chance but the cost has increased
Misconceptions are common, expectations are high
Corrections are made, aspirations just die
Fate can be vicious, malicious, corrupt
Don't get suspicious and don't interrupt
Try flying low and just go where you're told to
Stand here, there's a chance
Wait they've got you on hold
The constant ticking
The constant tocking
You're ready to walk out
It's time clock in
The runaround and the rigamarole
Stand here, there's a chance still and fuck you asshole
Wages were garnished and the hours were cut
Reputations were tarnished and you're here for what
First you're ignored then you're dismissed
More times than they do they don't know you exist
That's just the way they say they operate
Stand here, there's a chance, oh but you'll have to wait
The constant ticking
The constant tocking
You're ready to walk out
It's time clock in
The clock will tell you
When it's time to go
When your time is up
Then they'll let you know
If I am spoken and promises broken
A smokescreen so thick that you're standing there choking
Grasp at the straws as you gasp for the air
Breathe deeply because you are still standing there
The constant ticking
The constant tocking
You're ready to walk out
It's time clock in
The clock will tell you
When it's time to go
When your time is up
Then they'll let you know
When your time is up
Then they'll let you know
Then they'll let you know
Then they'll let you know
