| I once knew an unpleasant man
|
| There was a soldier in Afghanistan
|
| He told me that it's the toughest thing about it
|
| Were they using the same toilets as at Roskilde
|
| But even the idea of fucking in a war zone
|
| Fried in your own fat like popcorn in the microwave
|
| It seems enticing, since it's sku go 'enough
|
| For everything is a level up, from this phone job
|
| I'm so sorry, my name is William
|
| Next to the job there, I have a studio full of hardware
|
| My friend Jimmy and I, are a bit in the process of 'recording' song '
|
| Hoping to be able to come forward a little someday
|
| So 37 hours a week I'm benched here
|
| So I the last 131 us 'can exist'
|
| They call it many things, this business
|
| I call it hell, they call it telemarketing
|
| My teacher said there must be money for dinner
|
| And then I ended up as a volunteer captured
|
| Asking myself is I am a total idiot
|
| When half of my life it is lived on autopilot
|
| My mom said get a job, then you have bread on the table
|
| But that was before it all ran off the track
|
| Asking myself is I am a total idiot
|
| When half of my life it is lived on autopilot
|
| And in short, it is only the most lonely
|
| People in the world who find the offers attractive
|
| The remaining 99.9 percent
|
| Puts the phone on or calls me something really bad
|
| That Friday and there '30 minutes time
|
| Until my day is over and I can stamp out and slip '
|
| Should my boss try to keep me here, the gods should know
|
| He might as well knock himself down and call the police
|
| Because there're only two things that keep me in my good skin
|
| And I do not run towards the window and make head jumps
|
| One is weekend, the other is a bit of flirting
|
| I run with a pretty girl who 'gives the job a little spice
|
| Her name is Ella and her mood is quite dry '
|
| Plus I think she hates the job as much as I do
|
| Luckily do not have to lift the pipe many times before
|
| That I can unpack 'my shit and slip' out the back door of the office
|
| My teacher said there must be money for dinner
|
| And then I ended up as a volunteer captured
|
| Asking myself is I am a total idiot
|
| When half of my life it is lived on autopilot
|
| My mom said get a job, then you have bread on the table
|
| But that was before it all ran off the track
|
| Asking myself is I am a total idiot
|
| When half of my life it is lived on autopilot
|
| The phone rings, I turn down my headset
|
| Objectively speaking, the job should be pretty easy
|
| Looking at my script, escaping the throat prepares the voice
|
| When one poor woman says «hello» in the other
|
| Good day and congratulations madam I call from Telekom
|
| Me and my colleagues have agreed together
|
| You get a special offer where it is stupid to say no
|
| A book every month delivered directly to your residential street
|
| And the price, it's just as cool, she interrupts my sales talk
|
| With «do you speak english», and I feel like jumping out of the second floor
|
| Well I have these books and me and my colleagues
|
| Have all agreed that you can have them for a very nice price
|
| She answers «Are they in english» and I do not really answer
|
| And the silence that accompanies it is just so embarrassing
|
| Someone who will tell me why life just slips past me
|
| But in a few hours, there will be girls smiling and promille
|
| My teacher said there must be money for dinner
|
| And then I ended up as a volunteer captured
|
| Asking myself is I am a total idiot
|
| When half of my life it is lived on autopilot
|
| My mom said get a job, then you have bread on the table
|
| But that was before it all ran off the track
|
| Asking myself is I am a total idiot
|
| When half of my life it is lived on autopilot
|
| Talk that leads to the next issue |
