| Ten years doing something I hate
|
| What a waste, what a fucking mistake
|
| Too long I’ve been stuck in this place rusting away for what?
|
| Believe it or not I’m leaving my job this evening
|
| No reasoning could leave me to budge
|
| Soon as I clean this coffee machine then I mean it I’m off
|
| I’ll be meeting the boss pulling up a seat in his office
|
| And confessing there’s something that we need to discuss
|
| I’ll be like 'no amount of money’s even enough
|
| I can’t be a waiter no more man it’s eating me up
|
| And I apologise dearly if it’s seeming abrupt
|
| You’re getting dumped and being on the receiving end sucks
|
| Look, I’d like to give you two weeks to a month
|
| But two minutes more of this and I’ll completely erupt
|
| So I’ll just leave now, cheers but hospitality sucks
|
| And by the way, I always thought you were an arrogant cunt'
|
| If you don’t know how I feel
|
| To dream the dream of a lifetime
|
| And it becomes real
|
| Hey man I can’t take it anymore
|
| I’m sick of spending 40 hours working in a restaurant but I’m forever poor
|
| I’m sick of reading bad spelling on the specials board
|
| And people telling me their screw top red was corked
|
| I’m sick of bartenders flaring every drink they make
|
| Dinner plates so hot I need my fucking skin replaced
|
| I’m sick of when they say 'savings more like spendings aye'
|
| When they pay then they try to split the bill a million ways
|
| I’m sick of getting sprayed and drenched when I change a keg
|
| I’m sick of management behaving like they’re David Brent
|
| I’m sick of David Gray getting played daily at every single cafe I’ve ever
|
| waitered at baby, ye yo
|
| Shitty staff meals, large bills, no tips, bar’s always busiest the minute that
|
| it’s last drinks
|
| Dinner rush, customers complaining like I give a fuck
|
| Decaf skinny weak mocha lattes in a mug
|
| I never thought I’d be doing something this boring this pointless and
|
| unimportant
|
| It’s not how I was brought up
|
| It’s like I just got caught up in all this
|
| Honest to God it’s the oddest thing when a job can just transform from
|
| supporting and funding your life
|
| To becoming your life
|
| And all of a sudden it’s like awesome I’m 25 and I’m poor as
|
| It’s bulldust I’m tired of taking orders
|
| It’s the sort of stuff you do as a Uni student for 4 years
|
| It’s been ten or more, just the thought of it makes me nauseous
|
| It’s awful I’m so exhausted
|
| I surely am looking forward to squashing my uniform in a ball
|
| And toss it all in a bottle bin as I’m walking out tall into unemployment
|
| Like so long, so long, to the job and all the customers too
|
| That’s right don’t you think that I forgot about you
|
| All the stories I could tell of things I’ve done to your food |
