Eternal Struggle

(one, two, click, export)

Three thousand pixels to the left,

she said

Change the blue to something warmer instead

(ah) No, not that warm,

now it looks too dead

Twelve revisions, now my eyes are bleeding red

I hit export on the final final draft (haha)

Was that a sigh,

or did the client just laugh?

Where is the invoice?

Where is the pay?

We do the labor and we wait all day

(tick, tock) Endless cycles of net ninety terms While the creative soul

slowly burns

Signed contract, but the lawyer's asleep

Eating cheap noodles, promises we keep (help)

They launch the campaign,

look at the screen My artwork's shining,

my wallet is lean

Outstanding balances piling so high

Under the glow of the screen I sigh (ahhhh) Just click approve,

just click send

Let this cycle find an end

Where is the invoice?

Where is the pay?

We do the labor and we wait all day

(tick, tock) Endless cycles of net ninety terms While the creative soul

slowly burns

Net ninety...

net ninety... (waiting... waiting...) Outstanding...
