[Verse 1]
Pulled up to the gate
Same old sign, “We’re family here”
Then they cut our checks in half
Say, “You’re fine, your coverage is clear”
Clipboard counting every breath
Every sick day, every year
While they’re gone on some golf trip
Picture-perfect with a beer
[Chorus]
But hey, we got good insurance
Ain’t that what they say
Can’t pay the light bill
But they’ll patch you up someday
You bleed for the coal
They bless you with a card
Hey, we got good insurance
While they’re living large
[Verse 2]
Boss man watches that calendar
Like I robbed his only son
Marks my week off in red
Like I pulled a loaded gun
Says, “You’re lucky to be here”
With that smirk I can’t ignore
While he slips out Friday noon
Truck already at the door
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
You cut my raise, you cut my pride
Count my hours like a crime
Clock my rest like I’m stealing
While you’re stealing all my time
[low vocal register] Keep your card, keep your praise
Keep your speeches on the wall
’Cause your “good insurance” don’t mean a damn
When you don’t care at all
[Chorus]
