Clocking Out

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He walks in late with the file in hand Looks around like, "Somebody better have a plan" Coffee cold, but the clipboard's hot He points at the clock like, "Why's he not on the spot?" Badge on the desk, shoes kicked back Long lunch break, now he's calling all that "Move it, move it," he says with a grin If you want the check, then you better clock in [Pre-Chorus] No more staring at the wall No more letting deadlines fall If your hands are free, get to it If you said you'd do it, prove it [Chorus] Clock in, clock in No more dragging feet Clock in, clock in Get up from the seat Clock in, clock in He wants work, not talk Clock in, clock in Better earn that spot (clock in) [Verse 2] Stacks on the desk and a half-finished file He's tapping his ring with a strict little smile "If you're here, then you're here to grind" "No ghost in the hall, no leave-left-behind" He don't want excuses, don't want a sigh Don't want "almost" when the hours go by He wants names on paper, hands on task When the day gets loud, he don't like slack [Pre-Chorus] No more leaning on the frame No more playing some lazy game If the work's in front, then do it If you knew it, then move through it [Chorus] Clock in, clock in No more dragging feet Clock in, clock in Get up from the seat Clock in, clock in He wants work, not talk Clock in, clock in Better earn that spot (clock in) [Bridge] One more chance, one more pass Either step up or fall through fast He points to the door, then back to the sheet "Everybody here can bring their best to me" [Final Chorus] Clock in, clock in No more dragging feet Clock in, clock in Get up from the seat Clock in, clock in He wants work, not talk Clock in, clock in Better earn that spot (clock in)
