Well Paid Scientist Lyrics by Dead Kennedys

Well Paid Scientist Lyrics

    You're a well paid scientist
    You only talk in facts
    You know you're always right
    'cause you know how to prove it
    Step by step

    A phd to show you're smart
    With textbook formulas
    But you're used up
    Just like a factory hand

    Chorus
    Something is wrong here
    You won't find in on a shelf
    You're well paid
    You're well trained
    You're tied to a rack

    Company cocktails¡ºgotta go
    Say the right thing
    Don't fidget, jockey for position
    Be polite
    In the pyramid you hate
    Sip that scotch
    Get that raise
    This ain't no party at all

    Chorus

    Cringe and tense up
    Grind your teeth
    And wipe your sweaty palms
    Close your windows driving past
    The low life company bar
    They're making fun of you

    Ahhh
    Even you
    You've gotta punch the clock
    Too scared to punch your boss
    When will you crack
    When will you crack
    When will you crack
    When will you open your eyes

    Pull up to your sterile home
    You're drained
    Bite the heads off of your kids
    Chew them well, they taste like you
    Just slam the door

    Assigned here 'cause your company owns the land
    All your colleagues live there too
    Private guards in golf carts
    Keep you safe at home?

    Chorus

    When will you crack
    When will you crack
    When will you crack
    When will you crack

    The dark shattered underbelly
    Of the american dream
    Avoid it like the plague
    It stares you from your bathroom mirror
    Drown
