Extended Vacation

(专辑： Playing Pretend In The Interim - 2020)

You know I risk my life to
Just do the thing you so
Kindly asked me to get done
All day it's so congested
The rules in place contested
And I cannot even
I can't even see anyone

The world is changing and I cannot even recalibrate
It's a vacation for the ones with money to celebrate
But as for me

I just need to
Get through the day
Would be nice to
Hear someone say
"Thank you" but I'd still do it even
If you don't believe in me
When I ring the doorbell
Then I get paid
But if nobody's there
Then I get laid
Off for my quote unquote incompetence
Well, I'm just a cog in the machine
Must keep going until this shit makes sense

You know I risk my life to
Get you the thing that you've been craving for
To your door
One time the coke spilled over
The pizza got wet, you made me
Go and get a new one
All the way back to the store

The world is changing and I cannot even recalibrate
It's a vacation for the ones with money to celebrate
But as for me

I just need to
Get through the day
Would be nice to
Hear someone say
"Thank you" but I'd still do it even
If you don't believe in me
When I ring the doorbell
Then I get paid
But if nobody's there
Then I get laid
Off for my quote unquote incompetence
Well, I'm just a cog in the machine
Must keep going until this shit makes sense

Oh, I was told that if I'm gonna mess up
I'm better off not keeping this up
Quite good at passing off
Your rudeness as an oversight
Just trying to do my best
While my whole world's on house arrest
Making my way and, god, I pray
For mercy at the traffic light
