You're a well paid scientist
You only talk in facts
You know you're always right

'Cause you know how to prove it
Step by step


A PhD to show you're smart
With textbook formulas
But you're used up

Just like a factory hand

[Chorus]

Something is wrong here
You won't find in on a shelf
You're well paid

You're well trained
You're tied to a rack


Company @@#!tails-gotta go
Say the right thing
Don't fidget, jockey for position

Be polite
In the pyramid you hate
Sip that scotch

Get that raise
This ain't no party at all


[Chorus]

Cringe and tense up

Grind your teeth
And wipe your sweaty palms
Close your windows driving past

The low life company bar
They're making fun of you


AHHH
Even you
You've gotta punch the clock

Too scared to punch your boss
When will you crack
When will you crack

When will you crack
When will you open your eyes


Pull up to your sterile home
You're drained
Bite the heads off of your kids

Chew them well, they taste like you
Just slam the door


Assigned here 'cause your company owns the land
All your colleagues live there too
Private guards in golf carts

Keep you safe at home?

[Chorus]


When will you crack
When will you crack

When will you crack
When will you crack


The dark shattered underbelly
Of the American dream
Avoid it like the plague

It stares you from your bathroom mirror
Drown
