if any fb would be great....thanks

(could be a teen rock song_)  (but really about my everyday existence)



Straightnin' up my name badge     
Tilted eighty degrees                     
Liftin' up my frown                 
That's been on my knees             

Damn, here I am again                                 
Standin' in one place                     
Makin' poor eye contact                                     
Mam, may I help today?           

And here's my boss
He can be the biggest ass
When he shouts aloud
Let's see ya smile now
But I can't…

      Fake it for my pay 
      Fake an eight-hour smile...
      Can't fake it like a cosmetic upgrade                     
      I can't fake it for my pay...  (I can't)

      Fake it for my pay 
      Till we clean at five
      Can't fake it like a cosmetic upgrade                                 
      I can't fake it for my pay


Do you see my face?
Whilst you lose your patience
In your little queue
Yeah I'm strokin my chin again
There's a day-dream bubble
Growin' wild on my head
I'm drifting away
Driftin' somewhere else

And here's my boss
He can be the biggest ass
When he shouts aloud
Let's see ya smile now
But I can't…

      Fake it for my pay 
      Fake an eight-hour smile...
      Can't fake it like a cosmetic upgrade                     
      I can't fake it for my pay...  (I can't)

      Fake it for my pay 
      Till we clean at five
      Can't fake it like a cosmetic upgrade                                 
      I can't fake it for my pay


      Paaa-ayay…….Paaa-ayay...
      Paaa-ayay..yay…….Paaa-ayay…yay…
      Not gonna fake it for my pay….


(and I'm)     
Hearing someone's fingers click                       (ohh no... no)
They're shouting for another drink                   (ohh no.. no)
and I'm betting they want a smile with it          (ohh no… no)
What? I have to smile with it?
No I can't…

      Fake it for my pay 
      Fake an eight-hour smile...
      Can't fake it like a cosmetic upgrade                     
      I can't fake it for my pay...  (I can't)

      Fake it for my pay 
      Till we clean up at five
      Can't fake it like a cosmetic upgrade                                 
      I can't fake it for my pay


      Paaa-ayay…….Paaa-ayay...
      Paaa-ayay..yay…….Paaa-ayay…yay…
      Not gonna fake it for my pay….

   Hi josemar,

    Surprised i'm the first to comment on this, is everyone asleep? Know exactly where you're coming from, hope you're going to some place better. It's a road of bones, and you get no thanks. Good write, bang on the nail.

Yes...this is good and will certainly ring a few bells with a massive section of the population...

Has a great hook in the chorus too

Nice!

[josemar]

Hi thanks lads,
I totally appreciate yer comments! I'm trying to make it a teeny rock, angsty kinda thing....
I'd write more (but I'm on a smoke break)

[Paulski]

This is very good.
I especially liked the bridge part (Hearing someone's fingers click...)
Some great near rhymes there.
Good hook and you stayed true to it.
Great imagery around the boss telling you what to do.
I like this!
Paul

[josemar]

[tomcrocus]

"There's a day-dream bubble
growin' wild on my head",

have a great 2017 and f**k them,
                                               Tom.
