Leisure |
They taught me how to work, |
But they cant teach me how to shirk correctly. |
As you see, |
Science once again robs us of our jobs. |
Theyve put a micro-chip in my place, |
I hide behind screen of aggression nowadays, |
Its just a way of saving some face. |
So now Im permanently drunk, |
Like the rest of the race with, |
Leisure. |
If you think Im clowning, |
I assure you that Im drowning here in, |
Leisure |
They taught me how to work, |
But they cant teach me how to shirk correctly. |
I spend all day, |
And all my allowance on t.v. |
games. |
Amusement heaven at the flick of a switch. |
Instead of a lathe I busy my fingers nowadays, |
By scoring goals with the gentlest twitch. |
Ive forgotten how to use my legs to invade the pitch. |
Leisure |
If you think Im clowning, |
I assure you that Im drowning here in, |
Leisure |
They taught me how to work, |
But they cant teach me how to shirk correctly. |
They had retired me fore I left school, |
(just saw no point in the standing in line) |
So I spend lots of time lounging at home, |
(why not come in cos the carpet is fine) |
What a waste of breath it is, |
Searching for the jobs that dont exist. |
So now Im permanently drunk, |
Like the rest of the race with, |
Leisure. |
If you think Im clowning, |
I assure you that Im drowning here in, |
Leisure |
They taught me how to work, |
But they cant teach me how to shirk correctly. |
Lazybones, looking through the sun |
Howd you ever expect to find your days work ??? |
