lyrics

Had it up to here today
Bureaucratic interplay;
Thanks for coming sick to work
And sharing with us all.

Stubbed my toe; who moved the chair?
Mop water everywhere.
I did you a favor
And you let me take the fall.

Something’s building in my lungs
Or in my fist
But that’s a bell can’t be un-rung
So I’ll fantasize on this:

(Chorus)
Let’s pretend I threw the punch
Made somebody lose their lunch
Cracked a jaw and bruised an eye
Cause I’d rather just pretend than cry

What made you think that joke was fine?
Why should all your tastes trump mine?
Wake up early for what I hate--
Why bother when they’re always late?

An expert from one article,
Drone on, I got it long ago.
Break his heart, mess with her head
And something in me wants you dead.

Something’s building in my lungs
Or in my fist
But that’s a bell can’t be un-rung
So I’ll fantasize on this:

(Chorus)

Accept the fault, take the hit;
Communicate, you hypocrites;
I told you that in confidence;
Kill me with indifference.
Wearing self-absorption like a badge I should adore! (Hey!)

A kind hand not returned in kind.
So-called merit inherits blind.
Your shallowness is fathomless
Here I’m standing powerless
You wonder why I do not trust so easy anymore! (Hey!)

(Chorus)

Oh, I would never throw the punch
Hear me out, it’s just a hunch
Best not to act in my anger—
Just breathe and act out of it later.
