Pending Transfer

Clocked out early, ran across the town Grabbed the parts you needed, laid the money down You said "I'll send it now, just check your phone" That was noon — and I've been staring at this screen alone Seven-forty and the balance hasn't moved Funny how your word was "instant" — nothing's coming through Every promise hits like static on the line You talk a lot for someone running out of time Where's the transfer? Where's the follow-through? I did the job — now where the hell are you? You swore on Monday, swore again on Thursday night Pending transfer — yeah, the story of my life Where's the transfer? Remember January? "Big things on the way" Corner office talk that vanished by the end of May You dangled raises like a carrot on a string Then shuffled budgets and forgot the whole damn thing I'm out of pocket for the screws and for the steel But you're out to dinner posting every single meal Every deadline met, every extra mile I gave You nod and smile and throw it in an early grave Where's the transfer? Where's the follow-through? I did the job — now where the hell are you? You swore on Monday, swore again on Thursday night Pending transfer — yeah, the story of my life Where's the transfer? I've got receipts you'll never open Screenshots of the words you've spoken "Two minutes" turned to two more weeks Your credibility's sprung a leak Where's the transfer? Where's the follow-through? I did the job — now where the hell are you? You swore on Monday, swore again on Thursday night Pending transfer — yeah, the story of my life WHERE'S THE TRANSFER? I don't need your words — I need my money wired I don't need your words — I need my money wired
