Company Dime
Working for Pennies: The Corporate Grind
Lyrics
Got my keyboard and my tie
Preparing with work-related items like a keyboard and tie.
My watch and earpiece too
Additional accessories or tools related to work.
Being put down for some peanuts
Feeling undervalued or underappreciated despite efforts.
What else can I do?
Expressing a sense of helplessness or resignation.
I've heard acts of kindness and eating your vegetables
Reference to conventional advice for a healthy life.
Were the keys to a healthy life
Questioning how the current situation aligns with that advice.
So how did this enter the picture?
Reflecting on the discrepancy between advice and reality.
It's okay
Acceptance of the situation and the act of working for the company.
I don't mind
-Just typing away all my time
-It's okay
-I don't mind
-Just working on the company dime
-I won't let it ruin my Friday
Struggling with the toll of the work and its impact on personal well-being.
The toll this takes on me
-Having to collect, call, and collate
-This endless misery
-And if I could
Expressing a desire for a different path or career.
I'd run right out and join the major leagues
-But point point
-And click click
-Pay the bills
Responsibility to pay bills tied to the job.
It's okay
Reiteration of acceptance and resignation to working for the company.
I don't mind
-Just typing away all my time
-It's okay
-I don't mind
-Just working on the company dime
-It's okay
-I don't mind
-Just working on the company dime
-It's okay
-I don't mind
-Just working on the company dime
-It's okay
-I don't mind
-Just working on the company dime
-It's okay
-I don't mind
-Just working on the company dime
-It's okay
-I don't mind
-Just working on the company dime
-It's okay
Continued resignation and acceptance of the situation.
I don't mind
-Just working on the company dime
