Genre: Heartland Rock Theme: Oppression NDC Week 17/70 https://suno.com/playlist/71e5754e-d277-4286-8855-edf529763089 Verse 1 The clerk behind the counter got that look I've seen before Crossed arms and practiced patience, like I'm trouble at the door I asked a simple question 'bout the contract, point B She sighed like I'd requested the entire history The doctor's waiting room is cold, I've numbered all the tiles I asked "Gastro what!?" — she gave me condescending smiles They hand you half an answer wrapped in silence, wrapped in stone A wall so high and polished that you'd rather just go home Chorus Hush — don't repeat yourself I heard you the first time, I don't need your help The sun came up this morning, same as yesterday I'll eat the cost and carry on — what else is there to say Verse 2 The super at the building said the form was filled out wrong The form that HE gave me — but why belabor what's long gone The warranty expired, conveniently, last week They smile with all their teeth now, that's the technique You push back once, politely — feel the temperature drop An invisible bureaucrat decides when questions stop They didn't give you a shovel — left you there to dig with hands And somehow you're the difficult one — they've got the upper hand Chorus Hush — don't repeat yourself I heard you the first time, doesn't matter anyhow The garbage truck comes Tuesday — till then you'll have to wait Take a number, take a seat, and contemplate your fate Bridge (spoken/half-sung) You know, I used to think it was personal Turns out it's just policy And policy don't bleed And policy don't lose sleep Outro / Final Chorus Hush — don't repeat yourself The wall went up before I knocked — I know how this ends But I'll be back tomorrow with the same damn question, friend Because point B meant something — and you knew it then
