Skin heating up
Body burning
The pain is hard to endure
But you need the money
So you work
And keep your mouth shut
Your lips turned blue
The freezer too cold
Your shivers are violent
But you have to get it done
You have other stuff to do
People are upset
You frantically try to help
Help them, then back to work
But they make it difficult
So you call your manager
To ensure their needs are met
Your boss is angry
And takes it out on you
Why? You ask, but you don't know
You only do your job
So you can pay your bills
Because your living a life that just isn't free
Work all day
And work all night
Your tired
And you ache
But you have bills
So you'll do the work for the pay
