Darkness
Radio Blaring
BEEP BEEP
Find the strength to get up and feel around
Slippers in the same place, cold tiles staring
Water hits the face and I can see now
Grey coat, blue tie,
Staring at the back of a van
Same road, same ride,
With the traffic backed up again
Ain't no site of the sunshine yet,
Only looking forward to later
Maybe I can dream in the afternoon,
But as for right now it's time
For shuffling paper

Paper-clip yuk-yuk, cheap conversation
None of these people I wouldn't call my peers
Staring at the coffee pot
Staring at the digital clock,
Seven more hours of this

Cubicle next to me says "Hi,"?
Every now and again
Can't think of nothing more exciting than a closet full of pencils and pens
Can't think of nothing more stimulating than a neon light and a stapler
I swear if I didn't have to pay my bills,
I wouldn't have to be here
Cold shuffling paper
Shuffling paper

You can kiss my assets goodbye
You're a liability to my way of life
I'm insured but I have no assurance
That what I do here makes any bit of difference"¦
Besides shuffling paper
Shuffling paper
