Dead Kennedys - Well Paid Scentist текст песни

You're a well paid scientist

You only talk in facts

You know you're always right

'Cause you know how to prove it

Step by step

A PhD to show you're smart

With textbook formulas

But you're used up

Just like a factory hand

[Chorus]

Something is wrong here

You won't find in on a shelf

You're well paid

You're well trained

You're tied to a rack

Company cocktails-gotta go

Say the right thing

Don't fidget, jockey for position

Be polite

In the pyramid you hate

Sip that scotch

Get that raise

This ain't no party at all

[Chorus]

Cringe and tense up

Grind your teeth

And wipe your sweaty palms

Close your windows driving past

The low life company bar

They're making fun of you

AHHH

Even you

You've gotta punch the clock

Too scared to punch your boss

When will you crack

When will you crack

When will you crack

When will you open your eyes

Pull up to your sterile home

You're drained

Bite the heads off of your kids

Chew them well, they taste like you

Just slam the door

Assigned here 'cause your company owns the land

All your colleagues live there too

Private guards in golf carts

Keep you safe at home?

[Chorus]

When will you crack

When will you crack

When will you crack

When will you crack

The dark shattered underbelly

Of the American dream

Avoid it like the plague

It stares you from your bathroom mirror

Drown
