lyrics

the pants, the jacket
the people, the racket
I'll bury the hatchet
but my heart is not in it

resilient, complacent
tied up in enslavement
a smile, I'll fake it
cuz my heart is not in it

I'm dialin' it in
deliverin' the spin
blowin' in the wind
and my heart is caught
I'm makin' a din
refusin' the win
I'm wearin' too thin
and my heart is taut

the routine, the duties
the sorrow, the cruelty
I'll hang my head loosely
cuz my heart is not in it

virulent, impatient
asleep at the station
hey captain, let's face it
that my heart is not in it

persuade the whole nation
broadcast from all stations
my brain's on vacation
and my heart is not in it

the game, the players
the lovers, the haters
I'll see all ya later
cuz my heart is not in it
