Inconsequential Ties

You better watch yourself or maybe you'll

Wake up and be working for minimum wage

Slaving away on a deck with your hands

Just to grab yourself a dollar a day

Cross-eyed bruised well how could you go and

Lose what you held in your hand like a jewel

Just keep on talking I can see your mouth moving

But I know you don't know what you're doing

You are no master of the inconsequential lie

You better shape up if you think you're gonna get by

You ought to stop and take a breath and have

Courses that you're setting well you best be

Soon forgetting 'cause it's never up to you to decide

You are no keeper of the inconsequential ties

You better stop and think and open up your eyes

You are no master of the inconsequential lie

You better shape up if you think you're gonna get by

You are no keeper of the inconsequential ties

You better stop and think and realize
