Текст песни
Hate the game but Im still playing
Degree got me through the door
But the hallway taught me more
Textbook smart dont save your seat
Its the handshake and the greet
Know the face know the floor
Know which smile to use and for
Read the mood before the room
Laugh on time thats the tune
Half the job is what you do
Other half is who knows you
Half is social half is skill
But the social part pays the bigger bill
Shake the hand pour the drink
Hate the game but I learned to think
Promotion went to mr fun
Not the one who got it done
Golf on weekends with the boss
My Excel sheet his sauce
Dinner tables build the ladder
Spreadsheets dont and thats the matter
Learned it late but learned it real
Talents half the rest is feel
Swallowed pride with the company wine
Clinking glass on someone elses time
Half is social I accept the deal
Fake the toast but the laugh is real
Play the part keep my soul intact
Curtain falls I take my real self back
Did I sell myself or learn to swim
Is the smile a mask or just wearing thin
Feet are tired from the dance I do
But tomorrow morning Ill put on the shoes
Half is social half is me
One for the office one walks free
Alarm goes off the mask goes on
Hate the game but the game goes on
Hate the game but Im still playing
