I knew it was probably a matter of time before she did get the ax, since I discovered by talking to her that the...

Applying for jobs feels like this.

I learn my name
I write with a number two pencil
I work up to my potential
I earn my name
I come when called
I jump when you circle the cherry
I sing like a good canary
I come when called
I come, that's all

Send it up on fire
Death before dawn
Send it up on fire...
