lyrics

“Every day is the same, I’m off to work again
Is this how it’s gotta be? There’s nothing at all for me”
She said, and then she switched the hand that held her chin
“I don’t know where to begin, oh it never ends
I’m paid to smile and I can’t even be myself
No one calls me Emily, nobody wants to know my name
And I am on my feet all day long
The concrete floor they stand on is wearing down, it will be gone.

Can’t nobody see?
Everybody will be, they’ll be a little like me”
Just too late for Emily

“I wanna stand on the beach of a foreign land
Oh one day, I’ll make it there
I can make it anywhere, but I’m tied
To a job that takes so much time from my life
I wonder what I would choose
With my time for my own use
But no, no! No, we’re paid to put a smile on the bosses face
Oh how come we can’t smile like them?
Don’t we see this mess we’re in?
No! No, no, I can’t see you tomorrow
Like I said I’ve got to work everyday and everyday after that
Can nobody see?

That everybody will be, they’ll be a little like me”
Just too late for Emily
