Tired and uninspired inappropriately attired
Friends getting fired with my visa expired
Wondering if it’s something in the way I was wired
Maybe for the best as I was getting sick of lying to clients
Filling out these forms and faking requirements
Ethical dilemma bite my lip and stay silent
Now i’m banking that sick leave for early retirement
Rationalized, working as foreign national
Prized papers hand navigating a system in an unfamiliar land
Ignorant, getting married doesn’t make you an citizen automatic
Intensely bureaucratic, searching for a signal in the midst of the static
Leave for this, leave for that law of blood law of soil
Imagining the feeling as you watch them recoil
In horror, in brief, in tandem practically
No-one really cares about a higher degree

I don’t hold a grudge, things get better with time
Threading the needle while i’m still in my prime
Between us, between them we can all get along
Why step down if you did nothing wrong
Don’t make a scene or cause a big fuss
When it’s done you can go back to driving the bus

While I’m under it with my unpopular opinion
Cause everyone needs to choose a box to be shoved in
Friends to chime in Kool-aid drank
Zuckerberg laughing all the way to the bank
Maybe take a page from the debating cultures
It would be more productive than waiting for the vultures
Can’t question a position without being labeled a villain
you’d all prefer some crayons and an outline to fill in
Phones out, stones out in this glass house
Credibility loaned out, proletariate zoned out
Stoned out of out their minds on a legal high
How many votes did you think that was going to buy
Hearing the word salad come out all disjointed
It’s not that I’m mad I’m just disappointed
Clear that the apple fell far from the tree
But who’s coming to clean up all the debris?

Hiring your friends, friends in higher places
Whistleblowers all hiding their faces
Tail wags the dog, hands on the dashboard
Checking the fine print inside of my passport
This lack of direction is making me nervous
While we get tossed another bread and circus

We’ll see in the fall if you’ve fooled us all, fooled us all
We’ll see in the fall if you’ve fooled us all, fooled us all
We’ll see in the fall if you’ve fooled us all, fooled us all
We’ll see in the fall if you’ve fooled us all, fooled us all
