Wrench in the Works

[Intro]
[Verse]
Wrenches clatter on the floor
I don't work here anymore
Boss man lying through his teeth
Nothing but a common thief
Oil dripping on my leather boots
Time to pull up all my roots
[Hook]
Keep the grime (Keep it!)
Keep the slime (Keep it!)
I'm taking back my precious time
Yeah, I'm taking back my time
[Chorus]
I'm flipping my rags (Yeah!)
Packing my bags (Oh Lord!)
Leave the keys on the bench
I'm tired of the filth and stench
Neon sign is flickering blue
I'm finally through with you
Yeah, I'm through with you
(Choir: He's through with you!)
[Post-Chorus]
Walk out the bay
It's a brand new day
No more games to play
I'm on my way
[Break]
[Verse]
You promised me a steady raise
Just gave me more bitter days
Lifts are rusted and the lights are dim
I ain't sinking just to swim for him
Throw my uniform in the dirt
Done with all this heavy hurt
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear that engine hum?
My redemption has finally come
The pickup's idling in the yard
Living life shouldn't be this hard
(Choir: No it shouldn't!)
[Chorus]
I'm flipping my rags (Yeah!)
Packing my bags (Oh Lord!)
Leave the keys on the bench
I'm tired of the filth and stench
Neon sign is flickering blue
I'm finally through with you
Yeah, I'm through with you
(Choir: He's through with you!)
[Bridge]
I washed my hands but the grease remains
Can't wash away these heavy chains
(Choir: Break 'em down!)
One more step to the gravel drive
Feeling like I'm still alive
(Choir: He's alive!)
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive!
[Breakdown]
(Hand claps and syncopated snare)
(Tambourine shake)
Step-slide to the driver's door
I don't need this pain no more
(Choir: No more! No more!)
[Chorus]
I'm flipping my rags (Yeah!)
Packing my bags (Oh Lord!)
Leave the keys on the bench
I'm tired of the filth and stench
Neon sign is flickering blue
I'm finally through with you
Yeah, I'm through with you
(Choir: He's through with you!)
[Outro]
