Peepaw’s Got a Limit

लिरिक्स

[Verse 1] Alex clocks in with his lunch in a tin Calls himself Peepaw, gets a grin from the crew He’s not even old, but he leans on the desk Like he’s seen every meeting this office can do Then Chew comes by with a list in his hand “Quick little change,” and the whole day gets new One more revision, one more “circle back” Alex counts to ten, then forgets what to do [Pre-Chorus] He straightens his tie, takes a breath through his nose Chew says, “One last thing,” and the pressure just grows [Chorus] Peepaw, Peepaw, keep your cool, Alex Chew’s got another little plan to perplex us He’s pacing by the copier, talking to the stapler Trying not to lose it when the boss says, “Do it later” Peepaw, Peepaw, hold on, Alex This office circus has a wild new annex If Chew says “quick question,” let the whole room know Peepaw’s got a limit, and it’s starting to show [Verse 2] Chew moves the deadline, then moves it again Sends a ten-page email that just says “see below” Alex puts a sticky note over the clock It says “lunch is a myth,” in his neat little flow He practices smiling in the bathroom mirror “Sure thing, Chew,” with a twitch in his cheek Then Chew asks for a spreadsheet by yesterday Alex laughs so hard he can barely speak [Pre-Chorus] He straightens his tie, takes a breath through his nose Chew says, “One last thing,” and the pressure just grows [Chorus] Peepaw, Peepaw, keep your cool, Alex Chew’s got another little plan to perplex us He’s pacing by the copier, talking to the stapler Trying not to lose it when the boss says, “Do it later” Peepaw, Peepaw, hold on, Alex This office circus has a wild new annex If Chew says “quick question,” let the whole room know Peepaw’s got a limit, and it’s starting to show [Bridge] At five o’clock, he’s out the door No more forms across the floor The crew calls out, “You made it through!” Alex says, “Tomorrow? We’ll see what Chew will do.” [Final Chorus] Peepaw, Peepaw, keep your cool, Alex Chew’s got another little plan to perplex us He’s pacing by the copier, talking to the stapler Trying not to lose it when the boss says, “Do it later” Peepaw, Peepaw, here comes Alex He’s still got his lunch and his questionable reflex If Chew says “quick question,” let the whole room know Peepaw’s got a limit—but he’s dancing out the door [Outro] Not that old, not that old Peepaw’s got places to go
