[Verse 1] Corner room Glass wall Cold smile Grey suit counting heads Not faces Thirty years turned into one file Delete key hanging over paychecks Coffee stain on a shaking hand Old ID swinging like a medal Built this place out of overtime Now they sell his chair like metal scrap [Chorus] So much for C.S.R You write it on your pretty report So much for C.S.R But you’re cutting out the beating heart So much for C.S.R Every slogan just another scar So much for C.S.R You can’t measure what we are [Verse 2] Manuals written in his handwriting Training kids who call him “sir” Taught them how to fix the fire Now they hand him boxed-up memories Golden watch in a plastic bag “Thank you” printed on a letter Share price climbing like a flag While his rent shakes on the table [Chorus] So much for C.S.R You write it on your pretty report So much for C.S.R But you’re cutting out the beating heart So much for C.S.R Every slogan just another scar So much for C.S.R You can’t measure what we are [Bridge] [Beat drops to bass and drums] Name on the wall Name on the door Name on the list they’re erasing Hands that built the elevator floor Left in the lobby Waiting (hey!) Raise your voice Raise your file Raise your years they keep erasing If their numbers rule this world We’ll be the noise they can’t be chasing [Chorus] So much for C.S.R You write it on your pretty report So much for C.S.R But you’re cutting out the beating heart So much for C.S.R Every slogan just another scar So much for C.S.R You can’t measure what we are (oh yeah) So much for C.S.R You can’t measure what we are
