Milkshakes, Milkshakes

Milkshakes milkshakes

Come get your milkshakes

Smile on my face

Soul in a cage

God I hate this place

Customers moan

This isn't enough

You got it all wrong

It's ice cream not war

War?

This shift is dragging on so so long

 

Beep beep

Oven screaming

Coins clink

Got a migraine

Pizza's burning

I'm still here

Clock hands

Ticking in my ears

Have I gone insane yet?

 

Can I go home yet?

Is it 6 am yet?

Am I dead yet?

Today maybe I'll sleep

Or maybe I'll cry

Overnight shift

Killing my soul

Fake a smile

Take my toll

They wonder why I'm bitter now

Live my life

Bet you wouldn't last

 

Get it done

Move faster

But they don't see the disaster

I'm a machine

With a human shell

Serving up joy

While I live in hell

Love your job

It's just a phase

You try 10 hours

With your head in a daze

Screamed at for melted shakes

How long till something breaks?

 

I want to scream in the freezer air

Maybe someone would notice?

Maybe care?

But nah I'm just the bitch

With an attitude

Because I won't smile

While being used

 

Can I go home yet?

Is it 6 am yet?

Or am I spent?

Another shift

Another scar

Overnight pain

No sleep again

And I'm the one who's insane

You love my smile

Then wear it a while

Let's see you last a while

 

Milkshakes milkshakes

Come get your milkshakes

Love my life

Take a spin

Bet you won't last in my skin
