Story Behind the Song
I just want to say "screw you" to the employer from whose perspective this song is written. What a bunch of bastards. But the song was so much fun to record that I can't really complain. Such a simple mix, but it really came out great. Thanks to Andy Goodson for the perfect drum part. I wanted it really choppy, so I gated the instruments in the second verse so nothing would ring. I've tried this before and had poor results - I think I got it right this time.
Lyrics
Hang your keys
on the door
and be gone.
You know a lot?
Well, I know more,
and you're wrong.
The more I see,
the more I know,
the more I think
you're liable to fail
and I got my own
suspicions.
Don't you think
you're coming on too strong?
Don't you think
your tone could use some work?
Don't you want to take it all back,
every single thing you've said?
Don't you think you're human,
because you're wrong.
You're a sad, sad,
pathetic excuse for a man.
You're a martyr to yourself,
no one else.
The more I see,
the more I know,
the more I think
you're liable to fail,
and I got my own
opinions.
What'd I tell you
the day I took you on?
What'd you think,
I'd let it all just go?
What was that you said
when you were
putting yourself
together again?
What'd you think, you're human?
Because you're wrong.
