Figure It Out

Wait, before you take that job
We can figure it out
The American dream’s got you bit in the ass
By a dog with no teeth so it don’t hurt that bad
And the money’s enough so you won’t starve to death
But it grows like a cancer til there ain’t nothing left
And the one thing we know for sure
Is that you don’t want a boss no more
To say yes sir or say yes ma’am
Or smile and act like you give a damn
And you guzzle it down til your stomach is full
Til you don’t recognize yourself anymore
And you’re always tired and you’re feeling like shit
And your only nights off are spent getting lit
To forget the work week that you hate to your core
And you did like you’re told like your parents before
And you did like you’re told like your parents before
And you did like you’re told like your parents before
They don’t understand
Why you’re so mad all the time
And I know I ain’t you so I mean no offense
But they ain’t you either so it don’t make sense
To do what they did then do it again
And keep playing games that you don’t wanna win
And me, I’ll be here for you
When you figure it out
Then you can teach me
