Welcome To The Occupation

(앨범: Loyalty To Loyalty - 2008)

Whistle blowers gotta get outta school
They don't want poets, they want pigeons on a stool
You're examining fossils, defending criminals
I'm clock watching, getting dumb
Photographing models a house painter's solace
I'm like sisyphus in the sun

And I give up
Raising your kids America
You treat 'em like an obligation
Welcome to the occupation

The devil's in the details, devil's in the details
He's got your gold watch and chain
The devil's in the details, devil's in the details
He's got your gold watch and chain

Whistle blowers, we know how you feel
Public servants surrender their free will
But you can't be in politics and work in the circus
You have to choose just one
You hold the nail, I'll swing the hammer
That's how things get done

But goodbye valedictorians, goodbye punks
Goodbye valedictorians, goodbye punks

And I give up
Raising your kids America
You treat 'em like an obligation
Welcome to the occupation

The devil's in the details, devil's in the details
He's got your gold watch and chain
The devil's in the details, devil's in the details
Got your gold watch and chain
