Gotta Go To Work
Lyrics written by Neil O'Brien.
Heat and light floods your room in the morning
Sunlight burns the sleep from your eyes
Birds singing, greeting the new day dawning
But for you it's just the start of your daily demise
Coffee and toast stuffed, now your running for the bus
And it's the daily struggle to find a seat
Trapped between schoolies and some twat with an iPod
Blood starting to boil in the growing heat
Chorus:
Cos the sun is shining, but not for you
I said the sun is shining, but not for you
Cos you ain't free man, you ain't equal
To your boss and he says "You gotta go to work!"
After the brightness and heat of the street
Your workplace is as cool and gloomy as a tomb
Crack open all the windows before you take your seat
Let in all the noise and the traffic's fumes
As the hands on your watch crawl on to 12 o'clock
And round your head, like you were dead, there's a buzzing fly
There's still an hour's wait til you can take your dinner break
So you slave and you sweat in your shirt and tie
