The Secret Lives of Retail Monkeys

Next
In Line
Heartfelt smiles
I’m forcing them down and
This place is
Praising the faceless
In ways I never thought I’d have to explain
Surrounded by
neatly tucked shirts
Oh how it must hurt
when

Time
Stops
and I wouldn’t change a thing
I can barely see through this hazy grin
That’s slapped on my face
Now everything’s great
If only just for eight hours and
This can’t last but we’ll do it for now
This can’t last but we’ll do it for now
What’s that all about?
We’re like second class citizens
This can’t last but we’ll do it for now
This can’t last but we’ll do it for now
What’s that all about?

What’s that all about?

Next
In Line
Seem amazed
When we’re out of our cage
This place has
Addled me senseless
And the cubicle alternative is no help.
Surrounded by
neatly tucked shirts
Oh how it must hurt
when

Lines long
and I never miss a beat
We can barely feel through
this mask of defeat
with deafening ears
It’s not a career
It’s only just for a few years and
This can’t last but we’ll do it for now
This can’t last but we’ll do it for now
What’s that all about?

We’re not done, but we’re givin’ up now

We’re bright second class citizens

This can’t last but we’ll do it for now
This can’t last but we’ll do it for now
what the fuck is that?
