Working For The Man By Day, Stickin' It To The Man By Night |
I’m working this day job all week long, |
With the nine to fivers where I don’t belong. |
It’s a means to an end and it’s not permanent, |
When the night comes I start my shift in entertainment. |
The clock strikes five and there’s no doubt, |
That the working day is over and I want out. |
Minimum wage is a maximum pain, |
But it often typically comes with the trade. |
Labouring is a drag but gives me the skills, |
To tour in the van but to still pay my bills. |
If you graft through the valley of the shadow of shit, |
You’ll be amazed what you can get if you work hard for it. |
I’ve been working this day job, |
With the nine to fivers where I don’t belong. |
One thing I know is that the bottom of the ocean ain’t too low, |
To start a punk rock revolution in this disco. |
And I’ll say, hey hey, |
Weekday, you’re in my way, move. |
If my story sounds similar to yours in any way, |
Working for the man as a slave to low pay. |
Just know you’re not alone in the way that you feel, |
And your expression is yours and that no-one can steal. |
If you’re struggling to get by, to make ends meet. |
Feeling unimportant or obsolete, |
Just remember the message in the words in this song, |
Hum the melody in your head or sing along. |
I’ve been working this day job, |
With the nine to fivers where I don’t belong. |
One thing I know is that the bottom of the ocean ain’t too low, |
To start a punk rock revolution in this disco. |
And I’ll say, hey hey, |
Weekday, you’re in my way. |
