World Of Work |
From the cradle to the grave |
From the present to the cave |
All we’re doing most of our lives |
Is for the most part trying to survive |
Aspirations all every well |
Your degree it looks really swell |
Only problem always the same |
It’s heads their needing and not a brain |
Welcome to the world of work |
You can start by giving |
Up the notion that now you are swell |
Welcome to the world of work |
It’s a job and you can take it from me No guarantee |
All your life you dreamt about this |
Sole ambition since you were a kid |
Now it’s happened how does it feel |
Dream is over this for real |
Sat for hours in front of a screen |
Mouse will tell you what you are seeing |
When you get home how to relax |
Another screen for you to look at Welcome to the world of work |
It’s a kind of living |
Where you give more than you’ll ever receive |
Welcome to the world of work |
Only place a loyal servant can be Kicked in the teeth |
Mind your manners mind how you go Union rep. |
now does as he’s told |
One at all out used to mean stop |
Now you’re frightened of losing your job |
Small percentage do as they please |
Most if not all have family trees |
You can see them scuttling about |
Silver teaspoons stuck in their mouth |
Welcome to the world of work |
Its a place where giving |
Ls the price you pay for something to eat |
Welcome to the world of work |
It’s where surplus to requirements could be You they don’t need |
Welcome to the world of work |
It’s a nice beginning |
Followed shortly by a coffee or tea |
Welcome to the world of work |
After which you will be run off your feet |
Trying to compete |
