Handshake Meet Pokerface
For over half her life she worked from 9 to 5
crossing T's and dotting I's, the neon lights can't hide
that she's lost her shine
she says the mornings always taste like turpentine
she said she understands the point
of sacrafice and so should I
Chorus:
"Pay cut but it's a paycheck
surviving is my best revenge
what hurts you once won't hurt you again"
she meant what she said
Weathered lines across her face were an even trade
fingerprints worn down from overwork and underpay at minimum wage
she said the overtime is worth these aches and pains
but is it worth the precious time that ticks away
every second every day
(Chorus)
she said whoa (x2)
whoa (x2)
For over half her life she walked the straightest lines
she only wanted to provide
a future for my brother and I
(Chorus)
