Life for Hire
Paste your smile over your teeth and let your bones moan you to sleep
What have you done for yourself today
Wake up with a burning desire and kill that flame with your life for hire
Now that you have homemade time
So talk and talk your way out of this
You're just waiting for the perfect moment
To make love and enjoy this beautiful woodsy view
Sit down at your swivel chair and practice your perfect panicky stare
And wait for 4:30 to arrive
Once it does rip off that smile and swallow the remnants of gluey denial
And face your big bad self head on
But your insides are momentarily out
And they have some advice to shout shout shout
That you will eventually die if you forget you
And what do you see now
A little girl with fourteen projects on hold
A young wife with dinner or babies to grow
A woman who is secretly becoming old
Oh just a chance at the truth if only you weren't always tired
What have you done for yourself today
Wake up with a burning desire and kill that flame with your life for hire
Now that you have homemade time
So talk and talk your way out of this
You're just waiting for the perfect moment
To make love and enjoy this beautiful woodsy view
Sit down at your swivel chair and practice your perfect panicky stare
And wait for 4:30 to arrive
Once it does rip off that smile and swallow the remnants of gluey denial
And face your big bad self head on
But your insides are momentarily out
And they have some advice to shout shout shout
That you will eventually die if you forget you
And what do you see now
A little girl with fourteen projects on hold
A young wife with dinner or babies to grow
A woman who is secretly becoming old
Oh just a chance at the truth if only you weren't always tired
