Get In the Pit
I break my back washing dishes, skin on my hands crack from these conditions.
They call it the consequences of my decisions, I call it coercive working-class conscription.
They say you own this company, you're never here as far as anyone can see
And yet it seems to fall apart without me, the peasant peon essential employee.
Get in the pit, as your back breaks,
Get in the pit, no more mistakes
Get in the pit, arthritis aches,
Get in the pit, do you have what it takes?!
Off the clock my time is mine, get to the bar and get into line.
I'm dead inside otherwise I'm fine, my friend's band is playing a show tonight
Arms swing head low breath gets weaker, marching skip step to the blast of the speaker.
You wouldn't understand but I wish you could be here oh, I don't think you could survive this either.
Get in the pit, run fast turn left,
Get in the pit, brow beads with sweat,
Get in the pit, 'till you're out of breath,
Get in the pit!
Get in the pit, run fast turn left,
Get in the pit, brow beads with sweat,
Get in the pit, 'till you're out of breath,
Get in the pit! Clean the grease trap!
They call it the consequences of my decisions, I call it coercive working-class conscription.
They say you own this company, you're never here as far as anyone can see
And yet it seems to fall apart without me, the peasant peon essential employee.
Get in the pit, as your back breaks,
Get in the pit, no more mistakes
Get in the pit, arthritis aches,
Get in the pit, do you have what it takes?!
Off the clock my time is mine, get to the bar and get into line.
I'm dead inside otherwise I'm fine, my friend's band is playing a show tonight
Arms swing head low breath gets weaker, marching skip step to the blast of the speaker.
You wouldn't understand but I wish you could be here oh, I don't think you could survive this either.
Get in the pit, run fast turn left,
Get in the pit, brow beads with sweat,
Get in the pit, 'till you're out of breath,
Get in the pit!
Get in the pit, run fast turn left,
Get in the pit, brow beads with sweat,
Get in the pit, 'till you're out of breath,
Get in the pit! Clean the grease trap!
