Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The big corner office, a twelve-person team
A slick leather chair, the American dream
My mom used to clean ritzy places like these
With their overpriced art and their walls of degrees
[Chorus]
Well, now it's all mine with my name on the door
A big fancy desk on the thirty-eighth floor
Look at the girl who did right at the height of a hard-won career
What could surpass giant windows of glass framing miles of blue?
That's the view from here
That's the view from here
[Verse 2]
They say, "Climb the ladder, no matter the cost"
But nobody tells you how much can get lost
That decent and hopeful young woman you were
Well, you wake up one day
And you wonder what happened to her
[Chorus]
That woman was made to see good in each heart
But now she gets paid to pull people apart
And I mean, hey, look at me
MVP, employee of the year
Well, maybe I guess that this looks like success
But it doesn't feel true
That's the view from here
That's the view from here
[Verse 3]
I could keep doing "oppo," keep digging up dirt
Pretend I don't care when nice people get hurt
Block out the guilt that I'd have to ignore
For a raise, as I rise to the thirty-ninth floor
[Bridge]
Or I can walk out this door
And defiantly quit
There's a line you can't cross
And I think this is it
Oh, maybe I haven't lost sight of what's right
No, it's perfectly clear
[Outro]
At the end of the day
Words are easy to say
But it looks like the walking away
Is a little bit harder to do
That's the view from here
