Welcome to the Occupation

Whistle blowers, gotta get outta school

They don't want poets they want pigeons on a stool

You're examining fossils, defending criminals

I'm clock watching getting dumb

Photographic models, a house painted solace

I'm like [Incomprehensible] in the sun

And I give up raising your kids America

You treat 'em like an obligation

Welcome to the occupation

The devil's in the details, devil's in the details

He's got your gold watch and chain

The devil's in the details, devil's in the details

He's got your gold watch and chain

Whistle blowers, we know how you feel

Public servants, surrender their free will

But you can't ban politics and work in the circus

You have to choose just one

You hold the nail, I'll swing the hammer

That's how things get done

And goodbye valedictorians, goodbye punks

Goodbye valedictorians, goodbye punks

And I give up raising your kids America

You treat 'em like an obligation

Welcome to the occupation

The devil's in the details, the devil's in the details

He's got your gold watch and chain

The devil's in the details, devil's in the details

Got your gold watch and chain
