lyrics

Got the sack
In the back
Where the men
Keep their files so nicely piled in a stack
Their pictures of kids
Smiling at me smiling back

In a dream
I return
To a scene
Where the register it sings sweet to me
With rattling coins
Elongated tongue the receipt

I can see why they fired me
Was a shitty employee
Just felt restless and stuck
Kept my eyes on the clock
If I were them I’d have fired me

At the time
Seemed so sweet
That verdant room
Selling azaleas to retirees
A beautiful thing
Outfitting their precious hobbies

I can see why they fired me
Put me out of my misery
I was wasting their time as they wasted mine
It was the best for everybody

Took a turn
For the worse
I decayed
Questioned my purpose sitting pretty all day
Encasing these lives in pots with appropriate light

So I vowed
To do right
Free the plants!
And so I broke into the shop in the night
I let em all go
Outfitted the fields and meadows

I can see why they fired me
Just wanted everyone to be free
No more beds no more pots
No more eyes on the clock
Do me well and just fire me
Put me out of my misery
Wish they’d fire everybody
