Behind The Counter

[Verse] Got my apron on tight clocked in for the night Serving smiles on the side corporate rules to abide Every shift feels too long boss man hums the same song Don't need your applause just a fair chance to belong [Verse 2] Wage stuck on the floor but they want so much more Shining shoes mopping floors can't keep feeding the store Customers on a high looking past our tired eyes We're the gears turning round while they sit up on their clouds [Chorus] Tick tock tick tock feeling put down Tick tock tick tock we're spinning 'round One snap one snap we're losing ground But we won't bow down won't bow down [Verse] Dishwasher's roar plates are piled to the door Cash register's ring but we're holding up the string Minimum pay maximum grind time to time they remind We're a dime to their trade but our stories won't fade [Bridge] Day by day we endure day by day keeping pure But anger's a boiling pot and we’re finding that spot The breaking point draws near won't be silenced by fear Left hand serves the meal right hand holds the wheel [Chorus] Tick tock tick tock feeling put down Tick tock tick tock we're spinning 'round One snap one snap we're losing ground But we won't bow down won't bow down
