Competing With The Till

(album: The Odds - 2012)

Set up in the corner
Consigned to the bars
We rearrange all the tables and chairs while the staff is playing cards
The outlet's not working
The news is met with a shrug
They say, "Yeah, just take a look around and find another plug"

Competing with the till

Ventilation is working
You can tell by the overhead row
They don't know how to turn it off
They're just minding the storm

Competing with the till
Competing with the till
Competing with the till
Competing with the till

Our audience is your clientele
Our audience is your clientele
Our audience is your clientele

Our audience is your clientele
Our audience is your clientele
Our audience is your clientele

Competing with the till

Boss comes in while we're checking
He pulls us aside
He wants to know how it makes sense,
That money's standing outside

It took us a minute,
To understand just what he meant
To him all the people coming to the show,
Were just there to pay his rent

Competing with the till
Competing with the till
Competing with the till
Competing with the till
