lyrics

I’m less than perfect about four times a year
The rest of the time I am polite and sincere

On those four days I shut myself away
And administer punishment for the things that I say
I also burn my shirts and sever my tie
I imagine dragging you across the desk and ramming your face in a pie
I head-butt the wall, smash the table in two
I scream at myself in the mirror “what else do you want me to do?”

Because it’s not so easy serving you
No it’s not so easy serving you

On those four days I perform a deep cleanse
Scrub my soul with soap and water ‘til the soreness offends
I lie on my back and start bespoke
A poem about my hatred towards the needs of the common folk
I empty the minibar and pickle my brain
Flush Gideon’s bible down the toilet, think I’m going insane

Because it’s not so easy serving you
No it’s not so easy serving you

Public servitude, I shut myself away
Public servitude, punishment for the bullshit I say
I also burn my shirts and sever my tie
I imagine dragging you across the desk and ramming your face in a pie
I head-butt the wall, smash the table in two
I scream at myself in the mirror “what else do you want me to do?”

Because it’s not so easy serving you
No it’s not so easy serving you
No it’s not so easy serving you
No it’s not so easy.
