I've been put through all the rings and hoops
But I don't wanna take no shit
And so many things I never knew
I guess it's 'cos I deserved it.........
I don't know - I am their victim now
I'm standing here so patiently about to lose my mind somehow
But anyhow, I guess that I deserved it......
Throughout life's dreadful tasks, I do everything it asks
I put on my smiling masks most the time
'Cept I hate to wait in line
Sometimes, you've got to hold on tight
To Hell and back again you might
You best just know when in life you have been served it..........
You can't stand there and let them all
Have their tramplin' cattle call
This less circus would mean much more had I preserved it.........
They can't take all that time
No, they can't take all that time
I check out at the checkout time
But I hate to wait in line
I don't miss much except the obvious
I'm a mindless cog training in oblivious
To all this vast magnificance
To what we call our own
This is the here and now of where I is
Of all my peace at home...........
Throughout life's dreadful tasks, I do everything it asks
I put on my smiling masks most the time
I hate to wait in line
