I know they are disappointed in the way I handle things
They're saying I steal time and act cowardly
Yet I go on through dollars and sales, through politics and tales
How much grief can I contain in just one life
Yet I go on through complaints and meetings, enduring speech and reprimand
Do they even know how much she demands
Yet I go on and try to remain calm
It presses, presses on my temple, the pain in right and wrong
Oh, God
Excuse me, Susan? Susan right? Yeah
Could you, uh
Shut up
Yet I go on, I must make ends meet
On the clock, a living's not for me
And those who control from their office hole
Yet I go on, though time is at a crawl
With voices telling me I'm wrong
Echoing her words and my pain
Yet I go on and on and on and on and on
Someone needs to know what I think
Endless noise and painful dread
All to sleep in an empty bed
Food is scarce and spirits dry
And no one out there tells me why
Break the desks and smash the halls
Tear the spirit of capital
My eyes are worn, the mind is lost
Don't tell me how to do my job
Think you know better than me
Try it then, take a seat
Don't tell me how to do my job
A single thought brings a halt
What would she think
Don't tell me how to do my job
