Timekeeper

Lyrics

[Intro] Clock in, clock out, that's all you see But there's more to life than your stopwatch on me (Watch, watch, watch me) [Verse 1] Hundred miles from land but you still on my case Checking timestamps like we running some race Every minute counted, every second tracked While you sit in comfort, I'm breaking my back Ten hours straight in the scorching heat But all you care about is if I'm three minutes late to meet Got your spreadsheets open, highlighting in red While I'm keeping this operation fed Y'all don't understand what we do out here Risk our lives while you spread your fear Of "time theft" and "productivity loss" Man, I'm tired of dealing with a paranoid boss [Chorus] You watch my time, I watch my back (Hey!) Always under attack (Watch me!) You count my breaks, I count the days 'Til I break away (Break away!) You watch my time, I watch my back (Hey!) That's just a fact (Watch me!) While you're watching clocks, I'm watching dreams fade In this offshore space [Verse 2] Fifteen-minute breaks stretched too long? Write me up while your math is wrong Safety protocols you love to skip But heaven forbid I'm late one bit Offshore life ain't no nine-to-five Yet you treat us like we're doing time Got cameras watching every move we make Like we're criminals, man, give us a break Your bonus depends on keeping us in line While we're risking it all on the firing line But you never stepped foot on this rig Too busy pushing paper, acting big [Chorus] You watch my time, I watch my back (Hey!) Always under attack (Watch me!) You count my breaks, I count the days 'Til I break away (Break away!) You watch my time, I watch my back (Hey!) That's just a fact (Watch me!) While you're watching clocks, I'm watching dreams fade In this offshore space [Outro] Time keeper, time keeper, let me be I'm more than just your productivity (Watch, watch... fading out)
