I wake up in the morning
Take the 8:15 to town
I walk the walk and talk the talk
When everyone's around
But from nine to five
I count the seconds and the bucks
I used to like my job here
But now I think it really sucks
The sales guys are sleazy
And they have it way too easy
Taking two-day lunches on their hunches
With the buyer babes
I can see them though the window
As I collate my life,
I leave everyone on hold
So my coffee won't get cold.
I've got the office tower blues
I read the office tower news
And on Friday I go dancing
In my office blue suede shoes
When I think about tomorrow
It's the same as yesterday
I just party on the weekend
Drink my office tower pay.
I'm work ethic denied
They've locked me here inside
My office only has three walls
They build it down the hall
Too much starch in my white collar
I'm just trying to make a dollar
I try never to be seen
I'm just a cog in the machine.
I'm oxygen deprived
They make the air inside
It's full of Legionnaires disease
I go home if I sneeze
Ive got rubber necking plants
Filled with artificial ants
I don't want to get promoted
But with bad work there's a chance
