You're a well paid scientist, you only talk in facts
You know you're always right 'cause you know how to prove it step by step
A PhD to show you're smart with textbook formulas
But you're used up just like a factory hand
Something is wrong here
You won't find it on a shelf
You're well paid, you're well trained
You're tied to a rack
Company cocktails, gotta go say the right thing
Don't fidget, jockey for position
Be polite in the pyramid you hate
Sip that scotch, get that raise, this ain't no party at all
Something is wrong here
You won't find it on a shelf
You're well paid, you're well trained
You're tied to a rack
Cringe and tense, grind your teeth
And wipe your sweaty palms
Close your windows driving past the low life company bar
They're making fun of you
Oh, even you
You've gotta punch the clock, why don't you punch your boss?
Oh, even you
You just 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, open your eyes, open your eyes?
Pull up to your sterile home, you're drained
Bite the heads off all 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 here too
Private guards in golf carts
Keep you safe at home
Something is wrong here
You won't find it on a shelf
You're well paid, you're well trained
You're tied to a rack
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!
