Compensation Lyrics by Retirement Party

Runaway Dog

0

Oh, when the quality's poor how can you sell a feeling without
Unethical means of promotion?
Well I'm not going away
I'm just getting younger every day
Is quality equal to means of production?
Well it must mean something
I'll always know
To look both ways before I cross the road
If I get hit, all that means is compensation
I'll always know
To look both ways before I cross the road
If I get hit, all that means is compensation
At least it's something
Wonderful woes
Are we satisfied with truthfully anything?
Heart on your sleeve misrepresented
Well maybe I can't complain
Objects in motion won't stay in the same place
Is sacrificing integrity the intention?
It's up for contention
Friendliest foes
Take a baseball bat straight to the knees
You only get to leave if you are broken
A real catch-22 for all the nation's privileged youth
Is any of this even worth all of the attention?
Yeah, did I mention
I'll always know
To look both ways before I cross the road
If I get hit, all that means is compensation
