Dead kennedy s well paid scientist lyrics

     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 it 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 here 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 the bathroom mirror

         Drown
