Welcome To The Occupation — Cold War Kids

Whistle blowers, gotta get outta school They don't want poets they want pigeons on a stool

You're examining fossils, defending criminals I'm clock watching getting dumb Photographic models, a house painted solace I'm like in the sun

And I give up raising your kids America You treat 'em like an obligation Welcome to the occupation

The devil's in the details, devil's in the details He's got your gold watch and chain The devil's in the details, devil's in the details He's got your gold watch and chain

Whistle blowers, we know how you feel Public servants, surrender their free will But you can't ban politics and work in the circus You have to choose just one

You hold the nail, I'll swing the hammer That's how things get done And goodbye valedictorians, goodbye punks Goodbye valedictorians, goodbye punks

And I give up raising your kids America You treat 'em like an obligation Welcome to the occupation

The devil's in the details, the devil's in the details He's got your gold watch and chain The devil's in the details, devil's in the details Got your gold watch and chain
