Still We Let It Choke Us

Piebald

It's not what you want

But you'll take what you get

Why waste your time?

Looking sharp boy

Hair is just right

Tie is on tight

For eight hours every day now



You cannot breathe

No time for yourself

What if your paperwork caught on fire?

Wasting away, blink of an age

Tie is on tight,

Oh so tight, and it chokes you



Days turn to weeks

Weeks turn to months

Months turn to years and

You'll die so unhappy

Well, life is a bitch

And life is a beach

You've got the sun and the sand

Your suit all within your reach



Take off the tie

What a sick day

We've gone to build castles

In sand and go swimming,

It's time for our play

To the barricades

We'll take them by storm

Days fade to weeks, fade to months, fade to years

And there is not that much more.
