You're professional, you are kind, you always say the right things
you show up on time, everyday, smiling doing what you do.
I'd like to get in your skin, to see what I could see from there.
But it isn't that way. Is it, darling?
We're not doing this for you.
The nail that sticks out, must be hammered down, hammered down
Oh, the nail that sticks out, must be hammered down, hammered down
I'd like to do the right thing darling, I'd like to show myself the way to your door
but it isn't that way and it never will be, wait til you see what we've in store for you
It's a bandaid for gangrene, a bandaid for gangrene
you show up on time, everyday, smiling doing what you do.
I'd like to get in your skin, to see what I could see from there.
But it isn't that way. Is it, darling?
We're not doing this for you.
