Handshake Meets Pokerface Lyrics

For over half her life she's worked from five to five,

crossing T's
dotting I's, the neon lights can't hide that she's lost her shine.



She said the mornings always taste like turpentine,

She said she
understands the point of sacrifice

and so should I



"Pay cut
but it's a paycheck,

surviving is my best revenge

what hurt you
once won't hurt you again"

She meant what she said.



Weathered lines across her face were an even trade

finger prints work
down from overwork

and under pay at minimum wage



She said
the overtime is worth the aches and paines

but is it worth the prescoius
time that ticks away,

every second everyday



For over half
her life, she walked the straightest lines

she only wanted to provide a
future for my brother and I.
