Worker Antz |
| I’m just a worker ant, running on a tread mill |
| Pocket full of debt, trying to work off the damn bills |
| Never made it, I’m still chasing the dream |
| Going to live to retire as a broken machine |
| I owe, I owe, I’m off to sell my soul |
| Working for the big boss, living like a big shot |
| Mega house, fast car, trophy wifey, big snob |
| Loves O’Leary, watches Dragons Den to jerk off |
| Loves to read his Milton Friedman, keeps on feeding |
| Men to his sweatshop, I mean franchise restaurant |
| Watched and overlooked like the view from his desk job |
| Above the law like he’s Steven Segal |
| We’re on deadly ground, with no workers comp |
| Me, I’m in his kitchen like a million musicians |
| Part of the counter culture but I question my conditions |
| What’s wrong with the dishwasher, he’s thinking out of sync |
| Politicize bars, we’ll get served like food and drink |
| Cheaper to pay a wage then to maintain a slave |
| «We have to stay competitive, I can’t give you a raise |
| If you don’t want to work here someone else will!î |
| I’m expendable, so he can spend a mill |
| I’m just a worker ant, running on a tread mill |
| Pocket full of debt, trying to work off the damn bills |
| Never made it, I’m still chasing the dream |
| Going to live to retire as a broken machine |
| I owe, I owe, I’m off to sell my soul |
| Walk into the office with a coffee to keep me alive |
| All that I’ve accomplished, unacknowledged, I need that drive |
| Meet that deadline, with overtime, get it done, next |
| Keep it moving fluid, cause the cheques don’t let me rest |
| Benefits are AWOL and the hours just too short |
| There’s the promise of promotion but it comes with no support |
| Cause my buddy in the next desk is a threat to my advancement |
| And the boss is throwing dollars while we do our silly dancing |
| But she never makes it rain so we just try harder |
| Gotta think bigger, think brighter, think smarter |
| But don’t think too much, the manager has a BA |
| And he is the boss' brother’s best friend so we do what he say |
| Even if it’s stupid, even if it’s been done |
| Even if it’s the opposite of what you talked about with everyone |
| Day in, day out, the grind is so relentless |
| That’s the life you lead when you’ve been given a debt sentence |
| I’m just a worker ant, running on a tread mill |
| Pocket full of debt, trying to work off the damn bills |
| Never made it, I’m still chasing the dream |
| Going to live to retire as a broken machine |
| I owe, I owe, I’m off to sell my soul |
