GREAT

Don’t let anyone tell you Your’e not great Don’t let anyone tell you your’e not swell Don’t let anyone tell you your fate You’re no heaven but you’re sure not hell Buy me a Bloom and we can sit in your room Tell me about all the late nights, call lights, and highlights I’ll listen best I can while thinking of a plan [Pre-Chorus] ‘Cause every smile they see is thin Every “I’m okay” is caving in We’re holding everybody together, While we’re coming apart within. [Chorus] We’re gonna get outta here in time Cuz this whole life is on the line Stuck in the matrix of monotony We shall rise above incessant policy No windows, no sink Barely time to stop and think I’ll leave my keys, you leave your wipes Someone else can handle the gripes They can trim nails and change dressings Listen to the bitchin and the blessings Suffer the Karen’s and the call ins Let them Ride the wheel until they’re all in It’s a never ending figure eight But don’t forget, uhh your super GREAT [Verse 2] Another shift, another promise, Do more with half the hands, MAKESHIFT is fully staffed, Monday had other plans, Pendants ringin’, phones pingin’ Staff crying down the hall, expected to be superheroes, With no capes at all. Clock ticking, hearts breaking, Lunch gets cold another day, Management ignored my email, Guess we’ll find another way, We’re running hard, can’t be quitters how long you BEEN witter?! [Chorus] We’re gonna get outta here in time Cuz this whole life is on the line Stuck in the matrix of monotony We shall rise above incessant policy No windows, no sink Barely time to stop and think I’ll leave my keys, you leave your wipes Someone else can handle the gripes They can trim nails and change dressings Listen to the bitchin and the blessings Suffer the Karen’s and the call ins Let them Ride the wheel until they’re all in It’s a never ending figure eight But don’t forget uhh your super GREAT [Bridge] One day I hope we’ll laugh When we had no one left They’ll never know how it was The tears we held inside But every one we helped get well Will never be denied [Final Chorus] We’re gonna get outta here in time, Yeah this whole life is on the line, Maybe the walls won’t ever change, Maybe the rules stay just the same. But they can’t steal the hearts we bring, Or every little hopeful thing, We’ll leave together when it’s through, Still standing, me and you, They can keep their endless policies, We’ll keep our stubborn empathy, It’s a never ending figure eight, But don’t forget uhh you’re super great. Don’t let anyone tell you, uhh uhh You’re not great. [whispered] whose skeezee pen is this?? [END]
