She made his numbers, she kept them clean
She paased the audits; he kept her mean
When she was twenty-one she earned her first degree
She said “it’ll be 9 years from the loans I will be free”
She does the budget, she sees they get their pay
for all the clients, she strives all day
When she was twenty-four, she earned her second degree
And she started to work with children and their family
Everything runs right on time, years of practice, in due time
Spit and polish. Be on time .He thinks he'll can her
Everything is so benign, just as long as you stay in line
GAWD forbid you have a mind. He thinks he'll can her
She packed her office, she packed her things
Sealed her boxes, with 10 rings
When she was forty-six, he met her at their door
he said I'm sorry, you don't work here you anymore
Everything runs right on time, years of practice in due time
Spit and polish. Be on time. She'll live without him
Everything is so benign, all the planets will align
GAWD forbid you have a mind. She'll live without him
For fifteen years she had a job at social service pay
so she will follow her heart, and a new job she will start
Everything in its own time, all the planets will align
destiny is on her side. She’ll earn a new way
Everything is so benign, all the planets will align.
everything in its own time . She’ll learn a new way.
