Well it's 8 am on any day
And I am ready to scream
The boss is breathing down my neck
As I take one for the team
We tell ourselves it could be worse
And everywhere it's the same
We tell ourselves anything
To keep frm going insane
So I pay my debts and pay my dues
Allow myself to be abused
As I become one whom I despise
I feed to you these straight-faced lies . . .
They go like this
Yes Boss, Yes I can
Yes I will and Yes I am
Yes Boss, Yes I can,
Yes I will and Yes I am . . . a Yes Man
We wonder how it got this way
And just wo is to blame
We wonder how we let ourselves
Be pawns in this game
We say it's all about success
And meeting all our goals
But is it worth the price you pay
When that price isyour soul?
So I pay my debts and pay my dues
Allow myself to be abused
As I become one whom I despise
I feed to you these straight-faced lies . . .
They go like this . . .
