Jerry Leger & The Situation - Player Piano Lyrics

I see the light
I see how it came to this
But I'm all right
Bleeding from some wishfulness
The curtains run high
Set in a cast like a misguided fool
Watch me stroll past
Hung up on display for the world

Player piano
Sit back and nurse your coffee
Player tomorrow
Another day may lead to something real

I've seen the cards
Peaking through
Application for jars
Full of what they can tell you need
Education and a job
Twenty years to be correct and salute the boss
Like everyone else
Just pack up your bags and rebel

Player piano
Sit back and nurse your coffee
Player tomorrow
Another day may lead to someone real

They don't need you now
On the tightrope in the pond
I've been bonding all wrong
I've been up and down
I've been pushed around
I was told that I was nothing
Nothing compared to machine strong

I've been them all
I've been the one on the line
I've been the man on your mind
A player piano of a different kind

Player piano
Sit back and nurse your coffee
Player tomorrow
Another day may lead to something
Player piano
Sit back and nurse that coffee
Player tomorrow
Another day may lead to something real
