Demand to Speak
Life isn't fair, so I demanded to speak to the manager, and it turns out the manager is me. Nobody's coming to fix things, so this is me taking personal responsibility for my life instead of whining about it.
Haven't been alive too long
Haven't traveled much
I don't know how you see the world
But I think this all sucks
Cruelty seems to abound
Crying tears are everywhere
I don't get what I want
Life just isn't fair
So I! Demand!
To speak to the manager (Hey, manager)
Fight! For the life I need!
Someone's gonna pay for this!
No, I won't sit down!
I! Demand!
To speak to the manager! (Hey, manager)
Life won't do this to me!
I shout my challenge out loud
Put it into rhyme
Nothing seems to answer
So maybe one more time
Take another deep breath
Turn the volume up
Fill my sails up with the rage
Demanding what the fuck?
And I! Demand!
To speak to the manager (Hey, manager)
Fight! For the life I need!
Someone's gonna pay for this! (Who)
No, I won't sit down!
I! Demand!
To speak to the manager (Hey, manager)
Life won't do this to me!
The echoes fade to silence
Nothing answers back
Blink back the tears in my eyes
Re-examine all the facts
Realize the one in charge
Of my life all along
Was the guy in the mirror
The one who wrote this song
So I! Took some time!
To speak to the manager (Hey, manager!)
Think! About the life I really need!
If I'm the one that has to pay for this
Will I just sit down? (No!)
I'll demand to be my own manager!
Oh, life won't do this to me
Nobody can do this but me
So, me, what do we do now?
