LYRICS :

I’ve been working part time in customer service
Sat behind a counter
Starring at a cue of people
Wishing I was dead in customer service
Sat behind a counter
Starring at a cue of people

Ripping out my heart
Dislocating my bones
We are dancing macabre
As the scum of the earth

Good morning can i help you
I am a robot
I have no opinions
Only corporate information
No one here is happy in customer service
Going through the motions
Speaking for the sake of speaking

Ripping out my heart
Dislocating my bones
We are dancing macabre
As the scum
Drifting through the sewer
Creeping into your home
We are calling you up
To come into work

Ripping out my heart
Dislocating my bones
We are dancing macabre
As the scum
Drifting through the sewer
Creeping into your home
We are calling you up
To come into work
