I'm the Server Here

from Praise Box by The Plastic Arts

lyrics

I'm late to discover there's a booth in the corner looking dumb
They look at me nervous like they're waiting for service to come
It's my fault I admit for the wait when I get where they are
And I take menus over but they've already ordered from the bar

Such a stupid thing to recall
Such a stupid thing to recall

But who am I to complain
I'm the server here
I'm the one getting paid for their time and for taking the blame
Blow it off or be late
But let's get something clear
I'm the one getting hurt if I'm skirting the work just to play

When my customers call me
The smile that is on me is a wig
Because no one here works
We're just milking the perks of the gig
Yeah, the boys always chasing the girls who go shaking their hips
For the regular lonelies who get flirted with only for tips

Such a stupid thing to recall
Such a stupid thing to recall

But who am I to complain
I'm the server here
While the others are leaning
I'm dreaming of making it big
Do enough to get paid
Hammer that check when it clears
If it hasn't been voided to pay the advances you take

One more years one more reason to fail
One more weight at the end of my scale
One more poison to pour in my glass
I can see how it all comes to pass after I disappear
They replace the old and pour in the mold
Whoever they've hired to fill in the hole
Nothing changes when I go away
They stay the same
