taking and
no
giving

just use your
mind and they
never give you
credit

devotion
(A dedicated work ethic)
You would think

deserve a fair
promotion

Want to move

but the boss won't
seem to let
Me

I swear sometimes that
man is out
to get
me
(And who would believe me)

They
let you dream just to
watch them
shatter
(Hope you don't have to hold your bladder)
You're just a
step
A step on the boss man's
ladder
(Time for a career)
But you got
dreams he'll never take
away
(Keep them high up the career ladder)
In the same
boat with a lot of your
friends
(More unethical management types)
Waiting for the
day your ship will come
in
(Soon it'll be making another run)
And the tide's gonna
turn an' it's all gonna roll you
away
(Roll away where?)
