Not gonna be pressured — this is my decision, my plan Gritted teeth, angst and relief in the same shaking hand Guilt of the thought like I owe somebody something But I owe nothing to no one… still the feeling keeps coming Why do I have this way? Why can’t I just do what’s best for me? This is mine, this is me, this is who I’m tryna be Rocking back and forth, chair spinning out of control Struggling through the thoughts, letting people down — or so I’m told Some weird sense that they care… but they’d slit my throat if they could Keep me around as long as I’m useful — essential, understood? Essential… essential… essential… Only real way to protect me is to move on for good Release me from these doubts, let me break out Rip the duct tape off my mind, unbind my mouth Jump into the void, leap in the greener grass Grow up, stop being a bitch — do what you need to last Give me what I’m worth! Give me what I’m worth! Give me what I’m worth! (Yeah, give me what I’m worth!) They want your capabilities, they drain you of motivation Smile in the meeting while they plan your expiration Essential only ‘til the next one comes along Then you’re disposable — that’s the real corporate song Ripping my hair out, just hit send, send it, send it Heart in my throat but the future’s got a limit No more chains dressed up as loyalty and care Time to leap, let the chips fall — I’m done playing fair God’s plan… or mine to follow or to screw up? No advice here, just this mental confusion erupting No divine intervention dropping down from above Help for those that help themselves — that’s the only love Is this it? Who knows… but I can’t stay here frozen Just take the leap, let the chips fall where they’re chosen Make the best of the decision once it’s made No more rocking in the chair — time to upgrade It’s my reputation… It’s my resignation… I resign. Aaaaaaah…you wanna pay me how much? Ok, I’ll stay
