lyrics

Fake it till you make it
that's what my boss told me
you don't have to like it
just as long as you look happy

cause customers like it when you're happy
y'know they are trying to fake it too
and if they see you fake it
they'll feel like they can keep fakin' it too

Another morning in America
put some coffee in my cup
drop me off and wish me luck

This morning there will be a meeting
concerning our meeting last week
and how there was hardly any input
and everybody looked like they were fallin' asleep

then please turn in your report
anytime before ten o'clock
and if you didn't reach your projected goals
well, we're going to have to have a little talk

Another morning in America
put some coffee in my cup
drop me off and wish me luck

Continuing education
to make sure we're a competitive force
yes you did this for three years without a degree
but that's not the world we live in anymore

And don't forget to buy your textbooks
they're 300 dollars new
and they just released a new edition
so don't even think about trying to pick 'em up used

Another morning in America
put some coffee in my cup
drop me off and wish me luck

We, really
are too busy
to accomplish much of anything

and when we get home
we still won't rest
with this machine we come built in

(inst)

Another morning in America
put some coffee in my cup
drop me off and wish me luck

strike the deal and catch your flight
the customer is always right
punch in early if you can
take your lunch right after him
no interest til the end of time
with some time and a half I'll be just fine
employee handbook read and weep
I just want a good night's sleep

(inst)
