I’m not wasting another day,<br />
Planning ahead as if I could care.<br />
What happened to you?<br />
Your eyes are so open wide.<br />
Did you think I would run away?<br />
Did you think that I would stay here?<br />
I guess you never knew I didn’t know what was happening.<br />
<br />
And every day you work yourself and your hands down to the bone,<br />
Thinking that nothing counts, but everything counts,<br />
Including every last cent you’re underpaid.<br />
If I could pull myself together, I would drive so far away;<br />
And force myself to have another glass, <br />
Until the very next time that I get paid.<br />
<br />
What would your mother say?<br />
What would your father think of you?<br />
Is your face turning red?<br />
I think I changed my mind.<br />
I never know what you say to me.<br />
I never know what goes on inside there.<br />
I’m always the first one to target and patronize,<br />
<br />
But I know that<br />
<br />
Every day you work yourself and your hands down to the bone,<br />
Thinking that nothing counts, but everything counts,<br />
Including every last cent you’re underpaid.<br />
If I could pull myself together, I would drive so far away;<br />
And force myself to have another glass, <br />
Until the very next time that I get paid.<br />
