Got this job doing almost what I love
It's steady work, not too stressful, and it pays me well enough
I know I'm lucky – and I'm grateful – but try as I might
I can't shake this feeling what I'm doing isn't right
Everyone's got responsibilities
But I thought that meant sacrificing fun, and not morality
It could be worse though: could be hedge funds or big petrochem
But here's what I don't know: once it starts, where does it end?
Could be out-and-out villainy
I don't wanna be a part of the problem
When I could be a part of the cure
I know I'm only doing my job
But I feel like a dirty traitor
How many henchmen who were only following orders
Dreamed of the weekend and their loved ones while they tortured?
They had bills to pay and mouths to feed
And the road to hell
Gets paved by guys like me
Who debase ourselves
For comfort and stability
I don't wanna draw her any thinner
But I'll do it cuz it buys my dinner
And I'll make his face look more caucasian
Cuz the status quo depends on me
