And they say we're rude But we're shaking in our shoes Anxious "Hellos" and "Goodbyes" Quivering lips dribbling "Thank you's" And endless "I'm sorry's" For breaking outdated unspoken rules In old, weathered eyes We're just young, disrespectful fools You had your struggles We have ours Now you sit and nitpick While our world's still vast and far From waitresses juggling plates To secretaries scheduling dates Please be patient, just wait In this moment, we're carrying all we can take

They're People Too
And they say we're rude But we're shaking in our shoes Anxious "Hellos" and "Goodbyes" Quivering lips dribbling "Thank you's" And endless "I'm sorry's" For breaking outdated unspoken rules In old, weathered eyes We're just young, disrespectful fools You had your struggles We have ours Now you sit and nitpick While our world's still vast and far From waitresses juggling plates To secretaries scheduling dates Please be patient, just wait In this moment, we're carrying all we can take
I saw a store employee cry today.
