Less Than Perfect - longer version
You used to laugh, you used to cry
You used to not let life pass you by
Has all the good you've done made you numb
Life isn't fair, it isn't right
There isn't justice by our side
Do you find it odd that you can sleep
When they die?
Can't be broken, you're too strong
Can't be uncertain, can't be wrong
Anything could cause a death
And they will think you're less than perfect
I no longer ask if you have time for me
Do you feel you even got the time to breathe
Anything could cause a death
And they will think you're less than perfect
They work around employment laws
You could complain but you are forced to stay
Because if you go home
There's no one else
Your goodness tested to the limits
Your life force drained for other people's
And it's never really anybody's fault
Can't be broken, you're too strong
Can't be uncertain, can't be wrong
Anything could cause a death
And they will think you're less than perfect
I no longer ask if you have time for me
Do you feel you even got the time to breathe
Anything could cause a death
And they will think you're less than perfect
There isn't time to have fun
Nor to process nor to run away
From everything tonight
It isn't right
Too important, too short-staffed
They'll work you till you break apart
Lack of sleep could cause a death
But they'll just think you're less than perfect
I no longer ask if you have time for me
Do you feel you even got the time to breathe
Lack of sleep could cause a death
But they'll just say you're less than perfect
You used to not let life pass you by
Has all the good you've done made you numb
Life isn't fair, it isn't right
There isn't justice by our side
Do you find it odd that you can sleep
When they die?
Can't be broken, you're too strong
Can't be uncertain, can't be wrong
Anything could cause a death
And they will think you're less than perfect
I no longer ask if you have time for me
Do you feel you even got the time to breathe
Anything could cause a death
And they will think you're less than perfect
They work around employment laws
You could complain but you are forced to stay
Because if you go home
There's no one else
Your goodness tested to the limits
Your life force drained for other people's
And it's never really anybody's fault
Can't be broken, you're too strong
Can't be uncertain, can't be wrong
Anything could cause a death
And they will think you're less than perfect
I no longer ask if you have time for me
Do you feel you even got the time to breathe
Anything could cause a death
And they will think you're less than perfect
There isn't time to have fun
Nor to process nor to run away
From everything tonight
It isn't right
Too important, too short-staffed
They'll work you till you break apart
Lack of sleep could cause a death
But they'll just think you're less than perfect
I no longer ask if you have time for me
Do you feel you even got the time to breathe
Lack of sleep could cause a death
But they'll just say you're less than perfect
