Customer: “Oh no! I locked my keys in the ignition!”

Me: “Well, your back door is still open.”

“you back the cause
get out of school
you get a job
the job gets you
and somehow everyday
you end up serving somebody else
if that ain’t panic that you’re feeling

you can drive it into that head of yours
with the hammer in your heart
