Always Gonna be Shit

Alright, listen up — I’m not gonna sugarcoat it You’re second shift now. Congrats. But first shift? They’re the real reason this place is a goddamn mess They’ve been here forever Got that magic number, that union shield And they use it to do absolutely nothing They clock in, walk around, disappear Maybe pick up a tool if someone’s watching You’ll bust your ass fixing their mistakes While they laugh in the breakroom, Talkin’ about how hard work used to be (Used to be) Now they just coast And the company lets ‘em 'Cause god forbid we piss off someone with thirty years of seniority This is what it is It ain’t gonna change They get away with it And we clean it up Every. Single. Day. That’s the job That’s the truth It’s always gonna be shit You’ll see ‘em Standing around in clusters Pretending to “inspect” something When really they’re just waiting for the clock And if you move fast? They’ll tell you to slow down “Don’t make us look bad” They’ll turn on you quick Management won’t do shit HR? Please. They don't see nothin' wrong with 'em doin' nothin'. And the union? They protect everyone equally?— or only thr ones who're lazy? So yeah, that’s how this place runs This is what it is It ain’t gonna change They get away with it And we clean it up Every. Single. Day. That’s the job That’s the truth It’s always gonna be shit You’ll come in thinking you’re gonna make a difference Do it right Work hard Be better But eventually? You’ll stop caring too You’ll stop trying Because trying gets you nothing here Just sore muscles and people looking at you like you’re the problem This is what it is It ain’t gonna change They get away with it And we clean it up Every. Single. Day. That’s the job That’s the truth It’s always gonna be shit ...Always.
