Paper Pusher Blues

Steve Graham
Words and Music

I called your number, you didn’t call me back
Left a message, I got back a fax
I push paper
I’ve got the paper pusher blues

I tried to write an entry for deferred revenue
It’s hard posting credits while lusting for you
I can’t reconcile what you say to what you do
I’ve got the bean counter blues

There’s a knock at the door, it’s the IRS
If there looking for you; I guess I’ll confess
I’ve got the going up the river
Headed to the big house blues

While I’m at the office, you say that you’re out shoppin’
While I’m at the office, there’s no way of knowin’
I push paper
I’ve got the paper pusher blues

I’ve been watching the clock how long can it take
You’ve been gone for an hour on a 15 minute break
What’s going on ; Harry went too
I’ve got the clock watcher blues

There’s a knock at the door, it’s the IRS
If there looking for you; I guess I’ll confess
I’ve got the going up the river
Headed to the big house blues

While I’m at the office, you say that you’re out shoppin’
While I’m at the office, there’s no way of knowin’
I push paper
I’ve got the paper pusher blues
