At the Diner
6 AM and Julie's polishing the knives
Rolling silverware she wears a weary eye
Bills are overdue her mind is somewhere else but
Now there's work to do it's time to sell herself
She says
Sorry for the wait
It seems were understaffed
Margaret's kid is sick
And Jimmy just relapsed
Weathers dreary and the sun
Wont seem to shine
Though the world is grim
I hope your coffee's fine
Coffee's fine
Anthony is paying for some therapy
In the key of chemo for his bride to be
Out of pocket, surely coverage could help him
In a couple months Insurance should kick in
He says
Sorry for the wait
It seems were understaffed
Margaret's kid is sick
And Jimmy just relapsed
Weathers dreary and the sun
Wont seem to shine
Though the world is grim
I hope your coffee's fine
Coffee's fine
Sherrie spends her checks on food stamps secondhand
Life's been harder since her husbands left this land
She's got mouths to feed they're far too young to fly
Selling work and sex and weed to get them by
Pushing herself to the limits every way
In a world more unforgiving every day
Worried for their future, now she's getting old
There's no time for that
The coffee's getting cold
Sorry for the wait
It seems were understaffed
Margaret's kid is sick
And Jimmy's shooting dope up in the back
Weathers dreary and the sun
Wont seem to shine
Though the world is grim
They say
Sorry for the wait
It seems were understaffed
Margaret's kid is sick
And Jimmy just relapsed
Weathers dreary and the sun
Wont seem to shine
Though the world is grim
I hope your coffee's fine
Coffee's fine
Rolling silverware she wears a weary eye
Bills are overdue her mind is somewhere else but
Now there's work to do it's time to sell herself
She says
Sorry for the wait
It seems were understaffed
Margaret's kid is sick
And Jimmy just relapsed
Weathers dreary and the sun
Wont seem to shine
Though the world is grim
I hope your coffee's fine
Coffee's fine
Anthony is paying for some therapy
In the key of chemo for his bride to be
Out of pocket, surely coverage could help him
In a couple months Insurance should kick in
He says
Sorry for the wait
It seems were understaffed
Margaret's kid is sick
And Jimmy just relapsed
Weathers dreary and the sun
Wont seem to shine
Though the world is grim
I hope your coffee's fine
Coffee's fine
Sherrie spends her checks on food stamps secondhand
Life's been harder since her husbands left this land
She's got mouths to feed they're far too young to fly
Selling work and sex and weed to get them by
Pushing herself to the limits every way
In a world more unforgiving every day
Worried for their future, now she's getting old
There's no time for that
The coffee's getting cold
Sorry for the wait
It seems were understaffed
Margaret's kid is sick
And Jimmy's shooting dope up in the back
Weathers dreary and the sun
Wont seem to shine
Though the world is grim
They say
Sorry for the wait
It seems were understaffed
Margaret's kid is sick
And Jimmy just relapsed
Weathers dreary and the sun
Wont seem to shine
Though the world is grim
I hope your coffee's fine
Coffee's fine
