lyrics

Working minimum wage at a grocery store
Slicing open cheese you can't even afford
Just doing my job, just doing my job
You know there's people that go to sleep hungry
That's what you say as the compacter compresses comestibles
It's not that you don't care, you just don't want to be on welfare

The government is going back on signed treaties
But hey, I'm just a family man, I got kids that need feeding
Just doing my job, just doing my job
Environmental tragedy, I'm just here for that salary
It's not my desire turning water into fire
I know I'm just a pawn but night's darker before the dawn

It's easy to point your finger, because there's always something worst
Supporting what you hate, it's just like a fucking curse
But it's not, you are your own boss, you don't need authority
To tell you who you are, how to live, what to take and what to give
To hold your hand, just make a stand, they feed you shit so bite the hand

Hand behind your head, don't make a move
Boy's got mental issues, he's startled and confused
Just doing my job, just doing my job
Pull the trigger, body to the ground
With them, no one is safe and sound
You're only here to serve and protect yourself
Driven by your hate, your lust, your fear for god and nothing else

Spent my youth not going outside to play
Now I'm killing terrorists a thousand miles away
Just doing my job, just doing my job
New military technology, there's room in the work force for me
Will your paycheck bring you shelter from the cold?
When the apocalypse is brought to you by people doing what they're told

It's easy to point your finger, because there's always something worst
Supporting what you hate, it's just like a fucking curse
But it's not, you are your own boss, you don't need authority
To tell you who you are, how to live, what to take and what to give
To hold your hand, just make a stand, they feed you shit so bite the hand

BITE THE HAND
BITE THE HAND
BITE THE HAND
