Youre a well paid scientist
You only talk in facts
You know youre always right
cause you know how to prove it
Step by step

A phd to show youre smart
With textbook formulas
But youre used up
Just like a factory hand

Chorus
Something is wrong here
You wont find in on a shelf
Youre well paid
Youre well trained
Youre tied to a rack

Company cocktailsgotta go
Say the right thing
Dont fidget, jockey for position
Be polite
In the pyramid you hate
Sip that scotch
Get that raise
This aint no party at all

Chorus

Cringe and tense up
Grind your teeth
And wipe your sweaty palms
Close your windows driving past
The low life company bar
Theyre making fun of you

Ahhh
Even you
Youve gotta punch the clock
Too scared to punch your boss
When will you crack
When will you crack
When will you crack
When will you open your eyes

Pull up to your sterile home
Youre drained
Bite the heads off of your kids
Chew them well, they taste like you
Just slam the door

Assigned here cause your company owns the land
All your colleagues live there too
Private guards in golf carts
Keep you safe at home?

Chorus

When will you crack
When will you crack
When will you crack
When will you crack

The dark shattered underbelly
Of the american dream
Avoid it like the plague
It stares you from your bathroom mirror
Drown
