Occupational Purgatory

Yeah the news headlines
Flash across the television
Whiskey hits my belly
Now i got double vision

Cause it's a black and white world
Except the spectrum of colors
Yeah we're all thrashing in the water
We can't swim when our hands are tied

Rockin' in your chair
Is this how you thought it would be?
Cause your suburban paradise looks like
A graveyard to me

It's like occupational purgatory
No opportunities or worries
Why should we care when america
Falls down around us?

Corporation cloud has a silver lining
It tears at the seams
Crying tears at an effigy
Of an american dream

Vice chairman and CEO see
Dollar signs instead of people
Beaten into submission
Corrupt as a politician

Attempt to leave your mark
But how long can it stay?
Somebody must have spiked my drink
When i wasn't looking
They tell me..

Wake the town and tell the people
An evil symphony adorns these horizons
Wake the town and tell the people
An evil symphony adorns..

I'm distracted by a circus of politics
Mesmerized by a crystal screen
Infatuated with money
Yeah, i'm obsessed with the finest of things

I'm distracted by a circus of politics
Mesmerized by a crystal screen
Infatuated with money..
Stuck in occupational purgatory
