Uniform

lyrics

Dress me up
Snap my photo for this badge
You see I've done this all before
Lace up these boots
They're the seventh pair I've had
And they won't be the last ones worn

Sign me up
On your payroll, if you will
My guitar won't pay my rent
But I don't mind
Another way to pay the bills
And save the money not yet spent

Another routine daily commute
Another insensitive boss to answer to
Another fully-hopeless effort to conform
And this is just another uniform

Call me back
If ever you might find the time
I'm only hanging by a thread
If you don't care
My livelihood is on the line
Then at least lie to me instead

Type me in
As a number on your screen
And I'll look my very best
A servant of
A faceless, corporate machine
Camouflaged among the rest

I tried to climb the corporate ladder
But I'm stuck on several broken rungs
My optimism has been shattered, I don't care
This is just another uniform to wear
