When you’re working overtime
For cheap liquor on your boss’ dime
You might start to wonder why you couldn’t just buy your own
Used to be you could clock in
Ready to go and locked in
No one expected an e-mail reply after you’d left and gone home
Rip a forbidden beat on your abdomen, keep it tighter than a drum
I’ll do it just so, say this and that, and it’ll all work out for the best
Ain’t enough no more
Used to be, there were voices
Whose words you’d weigh in your choices
You might question the process, but what’s to gain from a lie?
Better off to call it suspect
You can’t fuck with a donor check
Hang a noose around your own neck, choke and die
Nobody wants no Beijing air or to see their kid ripped away in the flood Someone tells you you’re well on your way, and still it ain’t enough
Ain’t enough no more
Honkin at traffic on the overpass, telling rubberneckers to move their ass
But this ain’t a rear ender with insurance swaps or some dipshit arguing with the cops
Go on, cross yourself some more
It’s a man being strapped to a board
