Tables Lyrics by Hardly

Tables - Single

2020

Let's not do this dance
You're never going to make me laugh
You never had a chance
This room was filled with clean tables
Except for the one where you sat

Oh, how the tables have turned
Against our favor
Counting all the drinks that we've earned
For later
Banking on the pressure and guilt
We put on strangers
Assuming they adhere to shame
And societal standards

These hours are getting longer by the second
Control your adolescence
They're not helping my condition
Brought upon by
This brief intermission
Caught in between two shifts where
I swore I'd just get two drinks in
Only to find myself pissing
In an alley
Behind the Tavern
You can't miss it

(It's just a few blocks from where this is)

Oh, how the tables have turned
Against our favor
Counting all the drinks that we've earned
For later
Banking on the pressure and guilt
We put on strangers
Assuming they adhere to shame
And societal standards

I think you missed a spot
Whether you knew it or not
Waiting tables for a living isn't a part
Of your vision
No one's listening
They all came to visit
And test their indecision
Now you're in the kitchen
With your coworker bitching
About that one who stiffed him
But once you get past all that bullshit you're facing
It's not about wasting your time
Or wanting to be elsewhere in life
Yeah, this is just a job
But these are the people you find
These are the people you find
We're going out tonight
We're gonna 86 this feeling

(Now I gotta do it all again.)

Oh, how the tables have turned
Against our favor
Counting all the drinks that we've earned
For later
Banking on the pressure and guilt
We put on strangers
Assuming they adhere to shame
And societal standards
