Caroline's Spine - Work Song lyrics

rate me

it's another early morning, sun came up without a warning

i never do nothing til i'm showered and clean

got my pager, got my cuffs, a matching tie should be enough

i never leave the house without something to eat

an early riser by genetic, take the stairs cause i'm atheletic

always at the office before anyone else

i take my faxes to be copied, grab a donut, grab some coffee

picture a diploma sitting on my shelf

the monotony is killing me

and i try to deny this corporate labotomy

i need a siut of armor for a meeting,

know i'm gonna take a beating,

understaffed, and my department's in a crunch

budget has become a hassle, boss is ripping me a new asshole

says he wants an answer on his desk before lunch

afternoon, things don't look better,

phone machine is breaking records

five hundred messages from who knows where

staying late 'cause i'm a beginner, call my girlfriend, cancel dinner

says she thinks i'm having an office affair

the end of day, there's no solution, face traffic and pollution

put a smile on my face i didn't get fired

back at home to clear my head, i grab a drink, fall into bed

forty more years until i get to retire

the monotony is killing me

and i try to deny this corporate labotomy
