Lyrics:

Oh take a seat, wait for your name
Wait for your number, await your fate
'Cause it's a waiting game
Don't show your hand, don't show your pride
Just tick the boxes, lock your options
As you die inside

That plan you had, where has it gone
Lie down, jump up, get down
Stick out your hand you scrounging scum

Would you smile if I gave you a hand?
Little something gonna make you a man
Friends on benefits, you're selling this
Hear my nemesis, reaping all the benefits
Run a mile, gonna make new plans
Force a smile, maybe shake some hands
Friends with benefits, I'm getting it
Check my blemishes, keeping all the benefits

And here I am, chained to a desk
Pushing my pen around, how did my life
Become grotesque?
Ignore the hurt, squash down my dreams
Drown out the stats and facts
And tear them down with angry screams

What about my plans?
Where have they gone?
Wake up, shut up, don't moan
Be grateful you've a job at all

Would you smile if I gave you a hand?
Little something gonna make you a man
Friends on benefits, you're selling this
Hear my nemesis, reaping all the benefits
Run a mile, gonna make new plans
Force a smile, maybe shake some hands
Friends with benefits, I'm getting it
Check my blemishes, keeping all the benefits
