The Job
(c) J. Murdock McInnes Vasey

This job is not for me
The bright lights 
on plastic faces
The false cheer 
and hopeless hopes
while inside we try to cope


We stare at screens
real life unseen
we look for one last trick
the one last phrase
to make things stick
to win the race

what harm we do not care
though mostly unaware
what we do is not for us
for others rarely seen
we have no purpose of our own
we are part of the machine

today I walked away
I couldn't do it anymore

today I walked away
I couldn't do it anymore

today I took my pay
I was looking at the door
In my head, I heard the line
"you won't, see me, no more"

Outside I saw the sun
and I felt that I could run
I would have laid down on the ground
Just relaxed and heard the sounds
Life was waiting to begin

[instrumental]
