Dignity denied - thanks for nothing
Personality strip-mined - thanks for nothing
Gag on another heaping helping of humble pie
As I choke on swallowed pride - thanks for nothing
True dreams take a back seat to productivity
Creative thoughts to never see the light of day
And now I know that work will never set me free
Wasting time doing as I'm told while hope just slips away
Ideas reduced to scattered rubble - thanks for nothing
Mouth clamped shut, make no trouble - thanks for nothing
Sacrificed on the altar of expediency
Punctuality on the double - thanks for nothing
I've done my part, reciprocation's still threadbare
Appreciation always unforthcoming
Won't run that extra mile on the journey to nowhere
I don't owe you another God damn thing
Originality suppressed - thanks for nothing
Toil under duress - thanks for nothing
Energy extracted, returning home a lifeless husk
The price of success - thanks for nothing
Dignity denied - thanks for nothing
Personality strip-mined - thanks for nothing
Gag on another heaping helping of humble pie
As I choke on swallowed pride - thanks for nothing
