Song 1: Why Am I Still Here?

I said I'd find another job.
Tender my resignation.
I planned my moves. I told my friends.
Then I cashed another paycheck.
I said I'd quit when I had savings,
when I paid my student loans.
I'd flick 'em the finger
out the driver's window,
once I could afford a car.

So why
am I

still at the law firm?

I said I'd quit when I made partner.
Tender my resignation.
I planned my moves. I told my friends.
Then I cashed another paycheck.
I said I'd quit and buy a boat,
when I'd put away the cash.
An aquatic blender
and those styrofoam things,
so I could drink without fear of sinking.

So why
am I

still at the law firm?
