[intro]
Hi, how can i help you?
[verse 1]
Thanks for checking in, i'm not doing well
I'm the new face of management, it's basically hell
There's coffee on my shirt and burns on my arm
I guess hot oil really hurts a lot
Working overtime 'cause someone called out
And now we're running out of ice, can you tell me how?
To make everything worse, the lights just went dark
Oh, won't you tell me when it's gonna stop?
[pre-chorus]
Please step back
If you keep yelling, i am gonna have a panic attack
Please understand
Given the circumstances, i'm doing the very best i can
[chorus]
Smile, baby, smile for the corporation
Vital, baby, vital to the operation
Working for an hour costs as much as a sandwich
There's gotta be more than this, there's gotta be more than this
Smile, baby, smile through the aggravation
One day, they'll appreciate your dedication
Never-ending orders and i don't have the bandwidth
There's gotta be more than this, there's gotta be more than this
There's gotta be more than this, there's gotta be more than this
[verse 2]
Thanks for checking in, the shit hit the shit
A lot of money is missin' from during my shift
There's ringing from the phone, a call from my boss
She said that corporate's gonna call the cops
When the cops arrived, i figured it out
The totals in the safe were right, i can't fucking count
I'm desperate to go home, but reading the clock
Made me cry so hard that i need a mop
[pre-chorus]
Please look away
I need a second to reset, today i don't get a break
Please let me go
I'm out of sick days, so i can't afford to break another bone
[chorus]
Smile, baby, smile for the corporation
Vital, baby, vital to the operation
Working for an hour costs as much as a sandwich
There's gotta be more than this, there's gotta be more than this
Smile, baby, smile through the aggravation
One day, they'll appreciate your dedication
Never-ending orders and i don't have the bandwidth
There's gotta be more than this, there's gotta be more than this
There's gotta be more than this, there's gotta be more than this
[bridge]
I'm reaching my limit, red-hot fever like a sickness
At the maximum, it's pain, and at minimum, it's rage
I'm reaching my limit, red-hot fever like a sickness
At the maximum, it's pain, and at minimum, it's rage
[chorus]
I'm not gonna smile, fuck the corporation
Cycle, it's a cycle, not an operation
All they're ever gonna do is take me for granted
There's gotta be more than this, there's gotta be more than this
I'm not gonna smile through the aggravation
They'll never appreciate my dedication
Never-ending orders that i think i'll abandon
There's gotta be more than this, there's gotta be more than this
There's gotta be more than this, i know that there's more
[outro]
Yeah
