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 |
