Caroline's Spine Lyrics

9. Work Song

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 athletic 
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 lobotomy 

I need a suit 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 lobotomy
