HEY, RUNNER!

Welcome, let me take you to your very own private room.
Whatever you need is on the way, from the absurd to the insane
Remember I’m a volunteer

I know your people have people, and I know this should make my day
There’s none with whom I’d rather spend my afternoon than with an ego that can fill a room
But still, still all I hear:

“You better run fast. Get it done even if it takes all night
I don’t know what else you’ve been told, but I’m above that
And if I change my mind it’ll be alright
It’s not like you’ve got somewhere to be

“Run fast. Don’t forget who I am, and I don’t ask twice
And while you’re at it would you mind to read mine
Cause I needed that last week, but take your time
It’s not like I’ve got somewhere to be”

Go, take a ride on your high horse
And don’t you wait to ask for more
I’ve got an eternity of time to abuse, never mind it’s all for you to use
I’m still just a volunteer

Chorus

I’ve got somewhere to be (I’ll never get there)
And I’ll never get there while you’re stepping on me (stepping on me)
I’m caught beneath your vanity
So why do I keep running?

Chorus
