lyrics

Nothing lasts forever and I knew this time would come
Yet all I feel is anger about the ease which I succumb
To the laws of outer management, to the rule of a company
Who fail to look past profit and see individuality

I don't care about the area, I don't care about it's needs
I don't care if it hits target, I don't care if it succeeds
Fuck you, I don't wanna go - my life is in this shop
You honestly thought i'd be happy with a mandatory swap?

But this simply is the rule of life 'til I can cast aside
DHC Continus and Bendroflumethiazide
You've just got to grin and bear it and pretend you've got a handle
Despite every second person you meet being someone you want to strangle

So i'll arrive with potent bitterness, sadness, and despair
I know now in this company that no one will be spared
The moment you hit "legendary" your life is gonna change
They'll pick you off like targets hanging in a shooting range

So introductions will be made again, it's time to start anew
Fifty different people I guess i'll have to get used to
You'd think I might enjoy the change, so I can start again
So why does my contentedness feel more like a stranger than a friend?

No, I guess that feeling's locked inside until I can walk away
From cytotoxic triangles and Enalapril Maleate
I've been sucked into the system trying to acquire myself a skill
And i've lost the dignified part of my rational free will
But you might as well shut your mouth cause no one's listening to your plea
This sorry excuse is the person that you've chosen to be
