Track 1 off the 2010 album Fashion Accessories Won't Save You by Catherine Anderson

They don't ask for much
We don't comply, we improvise
Getting paid to sit here waiting for someone to die
You didn't get a reading
You missed that hour, we'll make it up
Follow through with the things you were asked to do
It isn't much

Break again
Now sit and wait for them to call you, It's your turn
Move to the expected place
And sit there waiting while you burn
Drowning in the pool of sweat
That has accumulated here
Wipe it off
You're stiff from the position you have held for so long
You're through

There's not much to say
You like the guy that's in the chair
Pray you don't get wet
That does nothing good for your hair
Where's the substance
You've been drained of all your persistence
Believe a castle while you sit here waiting for it
