Welcome To The Occupation

Whistle blowers gotta get outta school
 They don't want poets, they want pigeons on a stool
 You're examining fossils, defending criminals
 I'm clock watching, getting dumb
 Photographing models a house painter's solace
 I'm like sisyphus in the sun
 And I give up
 Raising your kids America
 You treat 'em like an obligation
 Welcome to the occupation
 The devil's in the details, devil's in the details
 He's got your gold watch and chain
 The devil's in the details, devil's in the details
 He's got your gold watch and chain
 Whistle blowers, we know how you feel
 Public servants surrender their free will
 But you can't be in politics and work in the circus
 You have to choose just one
 You hold the nail, I'll swing the hammer
 That's how things get done
 But goodbye valedictorians, goodbye punks
 Goodbye valedictorians, goodbye punks
 And I give up
 Raising your kids America
 You treat 'em like an obligation
 Welcome to the occupation
 The devil's in the details, devil's in the details
 He's got your gold watch and chain
 The devil's in the details, devil's in the details
 Got your gold watch and chain
