Team Player

The 1st always brings deep breaths

Before I check to see if

II even have enough for rent

Just how is every month like this?

Always overworked, yet

Somehow deeper in debt

Sickened by this weekly dance

To keep a roof over my head

Just to tell a therapist

About the place that's paying for it

So over being overwhelmed

So I'm giving back what I get

Bare-minimum with no regret

A broken will can still rebel

No one wants to work (No shit)

When our checks just shrink

When all that grows, it seems

Robocops on the corner

And bombs dropped overseas

We're told we can't afford

To house or heal or feed the poor

So why climb the ladder

Why break my back

Just to become another plank

So over being overwhelmed

So I'm giving back what I get

Bare-minimum with no regret

A broken will can still rebel

Be a team player, they say

When they don't know my name

Won't even look me in the eye

Be a team player, they say

As if I would ever choose this game

As if we'd ever be on the same side

So over being overwhelmed

So I'm giving back what I get

Bare-minimum with no regret

A broken will can still rebel
