In addition to the Heavens to Betsy song I posted earlier, here's another waitress-related song: Tori Amos' "The Waitress". While my interest in Tori Amos has waxed and waned over the years, there's no denying the power of her voice and her songwriting. This song especially is so minimalist yet so aptly conveys the rage and sarcasm in its lyrics. Hell, who hasn't wanted to kill a self-righteous coworker?
So I want to kill this waitress
She's worked here a year longer than I
If I did it fast you know that's an act of kindness
But I believe in peace
I believe in peace Bitch
I believe in peace
I believe in peace
But I believe in peace
I believe in peace Bitch
I believe in peace
I want to kill this waitress
I can't believe this violence in mind
And is her power all in her club sandwich
But I believe in peace
I believe in peace Bitch
I believe in peace
I believe in peace
But I believe in peace
I believe in peace Bitch
I believe in peace
I want to kill this killing wish
There're too many stars and not enough sky
Boys all think she's living kindness
Ask a fellow waitress
Ask a fellow waitress
