Retirement Party - Compensation Lyrics

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

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 of the nations privileged youth
is any of this even worth all 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
