I've learnt to say thankyou when I'm not thankful at all
And remain polite to those who don't say it back
I've learnt to give directions to those too lazy to look
Though I know they don't deserve that
I've learnt to smile because they like it and laugh at bad jokes
And pretend people don't hack me off
I've learnt to carry on like they're not stopping me and slowing me down
And when I want to be harsh I act soft
I've learnt that most people don't appreciate the help that I give
But I still do it because I know it's right
And regardless of how their insensitivity brings me down
My conscience will put up a fight.
