How Do You Feel Today?

I FEEL LIKE A NUMBER

Bob Seger

 

I take my card and I stand in line
To make a buck I work overtime
Dear sir letters keep comin' in the mail

I work my back till it's racked with pain
The boss can't even recall my name
I show up late and I'm docked, it never fails

I feel like just another, spoke in a great big wheel
Like a tiny blade of grass in a great big field
 
To workers I'm just another drone
To Ma Bell I'm just another phone
I'm just another statistic on a sheet

To teachers I'm just another child
To IRS I'm another file
I'm just another consensus on the street

Gonna cruise outta this city, head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean, hey it's me
And I feel like a number, feel like a number
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land, I feel like a number
I'm not a number, I'm not aโ€ฆ
Thank you so much, covfefe, and good night!
-- Anna Kendrick

Thatโ€™s a powerful song, by a man who has been there.  When I first heard it I was so moved by the way one could feel his angst.  I loved this part:

 

โ€œWhen it's all said and done
I'm not okay 
But it's all gonna be alright

 

It's not okay
But we're all gonna be alright


I'm not okay
But it's all gonna be alright
