(Jian on lead)

Color balloons, an appreciative handshake

If that counts as severance then don't waste your breath

We gave our times to a company planning our death

Well, it's a new challenge my family hasn't yet met

I've sat at this desk and tried to be honest

22 years with these men on the line

Record?s? set profits, then how's this a sign of the times?

(Jian and Mike)

I won't tell my wife, I will work it out

Things will be fine

It's the message we

(Jian)

It's not the end...

Of these working man's days

(Jian)

Make up your mind and make me a statistic

Make a production machine ?had it debt?

Cast the man out, too, now, making a living regret

(Jian and Mike)

Well, some build their fortunes on others who

Build what they get

(All)

I picture myself

With all of your freedom to choose

Yeah...

Do you picture yourself?

With all of your wealth you can use

(Jian)

Step into my shoes...

Bastard

(guitar and keyboard solo)

(Jian)

Don't hold your breath

But don't hold out your hand

Hold your head up and be brave to a man

Some day they'll lose something worse

And then they'll understand

(Jian and Mike)

For now we just pick up our things

And find work where we can
