What time is it? |
|
It 6:47 AM when I look at the clock and cough |
|
6:50, the alarm goes off |
|
I stumble to the shower, brush my teeth |
|
And get dressed as I try to find something to eat |
|
I spot a cookie in the kitchen drawer |
|
And at 7:34 I'm out the door |
|
Sitting in traffic, no escape |
|
I'm gonna be late, work starts at 8 |
|
I check my watch and it's 8:03 |
|
Finally I arrive at the j-o-b |
|
I get to my desk, what's this mess? |
|
New projects? I'm already stressed |
|
I sit stunned till 8:15 |
|
By 8:31 I'm ready to scream |
|
22 messages on my phone |
|
I just got here and I wanna go home |
|
I wanna go home |
|
9:30, my stomach is startin to ache |
|
But I have to wait a half hour for my break |
|
Bless, somebody just called in sick |
|
Coughin and wheezin, yup, the whole shtick |
|
More work for me, it's 10:42 |
|
Someone says, "The boss wants to see you" |
|
At 10:47 I'm gettin yelled at |
|
I was gonna yell back but my voice fell flat |
|
I'm still ( ? ) at 11:39 |
|
And that's when I'm told they cut my lunch time |
|
Mandatory meeting and all I can do is groan |
|
I wanna go home |
|
I wanna go home |
|
(You got to have a job |
|
Your feet on the table) |
|
(You got to have a job |
|
To keep the family able) |
|
(How long until I can go home?) |
|
The afternoon's draggin, it's 2:02 |
|
When I'm laggin, avoidin what I'm s'posed to do |
|
A co-worker gets on my case |
|
Tellin me I need to smile, I hate this place |
|
At 3 o'clock I walk outside |
|
Standin by the backdoor try to hide |
|
Gotta make it till five, then I escape |
|
3:30, they ask me to stay late |
|
First I say, "Sure," then I say, "Wait" |
|
I can't, I've got an appointment to make |
|
Then, at 4:10 they ask again |
|
The manager's actin like he's my friend |
|
Hmm, let me think about it - no |
|
I'm ready to go, see you tomorrow |
|
It's 5 o'clock on the dot so you gotta leave me alone |
|
It's time to go home |
