The Grind

Welcome to this world that we call home
We assure you that you can make it all your own
Now sign on the line and initial here and one more time
Great everything is in order and so I'll take whats mine

You won't be needing this brain or your spine
Your heart is healthy but that will fade in time
Look the evaluation is done, for the moment
But do remember that time just your console-meant

Now lets see what your capabilities have meant
Oh you were a teacher how keen, here a helmet
You will need that for your new job, test dummy
No worries it is as simple as Chinese jen rummy

Oh I see you are in need of some money
Well lets see what kind of loans are good for a dummy
Terribly sorry but we will need you kidney for a loan
As well as your first born and your home

If this is extreme then please sound a good moan
I heard you now shut-up I am on the phone
Yes he is ready for life broken almost in half
You mean his new job is downsizing, that is a laugh

Well I need to get back to it still need take lunch
But no worries this one will fall I got a hunch
Well everything is in order for the next little while
But if you have questions please feel free to dial

My number is here under the title but you can't see it
It is written by flees and you will need a lens twit
I think you remember where the door is in the front
Take six lefts and four and a half rights then kick the runt

We do not promote here for skill but for cruelty
The meaner you are the more you get you see
So if your nice and polite and mind you manners
Then I will see that you never ever matter

You are now the truge and here is your life
But take heart it is not so hard to use a knife
See him. No wait for his back to be turned
then as he starts to work let him get burned

You seem to have it pretty well, I am proud
With that attitude your voice will be loud
