The Constant

For the most part first of all
 You're last and you're the least
 Stand here, there's a chance but the cost has increased
 Misconceptions are common, expectations are high
 Corrections are made, aspirations just die
 Fate can be vicious, malicious, corrupt
 Don't get suspicious and don't interrupt
 Try flying low and just go where you're told to
 Stand here, there's a chance
 Wait they've got you on hold
 The constant ticking
 The constant tocking
 You're ready to walk out
 It's time clock in
 The runaround and the rigamarole
 Stand here, there's a chance still and fuck you asshole
 Wages were garnished and the hours were cut
 Reputations were tarnished and you're here for what
 First you're ignored then you're dismissed
 More times than they do they don't know you exist
 That's just the way they say they operate
 Stand here, there's a chance, oh but you'll have to wait
 The constant ticking
 The constant tocking
 You're ready to walk out
 It's time clock in
 The clock will tell you
 When it's time to go
 When your time is up
 Then they'll let you know
 If I am spoken and promises broken
 A smokescreen so thick that you're standing there choking
 Grasp at the straws as you gasp for the air
 Breathe deeply because you are still standing there
 The constant ticking
 The constant tocking
 You're ready to walk out
 It's time clock in
 The clock will tell you
 When it's time to go
 When your time is up
 Then they'll let you know
 When your time is up
 Then they'll let you know
 Then they'll let you know
 Then they'll let you know
