MUSIC FOR SALE

Didn't know I missed the punchline
I clock in, time after time
I do my work, show up, sure
But never see the perks, yeah, yeah
I count my days
Room spinnin', when can I go back to the old ways
All these hours spent in a distant haze
Blending together into seamless greys

I work so hard
To stay so damn scarred
When can I let down my guard?
We got discarded, left amiss
Our caretaker's cruel remiss
Now I'm working damn hard
I couldn't shuffle these cards
Got dealt a bad deck
A bad deck, yeah

Back to the grind
There's my cue, memories rewind
Back to better times
Back to years of primes
Fade away, fade with me
Fade to where we could be freed
Look into my eyes
Colours of the skies
There you will find a disguise
I'm cloaked better than movie spies
You will never see my pain, baby
Don't worry, one day maybe
We can be happy again
Be a royal ten outta ten

I work so hard
To stay so damn scarred
When can I let down my guard?
We got discarded, left amiss
Our caretaker's cruel remiss
Now I'm working damn hard
I couldn't shuffle these cards
Got dealt a bad deck
A bad deck, yeah

Kids play in parks
Reminds me of my childhood, it's awful marks
I was always on duty
Even though I was a little cutie
Behind my kind mask laid a fallen angel
She fought battles and braved weathered hills
It made me who I am today, still on duty

I work so hard
To stay so damn scarred
When can I let down my guard?
We got discarded, left amiss
Our caretaker's cruel remiss
Now I'm working damn hard
I couldn't shuffle these cards
Got dealt a bad deck
A bad deck, yeah
