TIM CHEKS lyrics : "Work Till We're Dead"


[Chorus X2]
We work so hard, like we're in a prophecy

Don't wanna work, life, we should live it properly
We bust our balls, just to live in poverty
I wish I could just win the lottery


[Verse 1]
$#&@ the weekend is gone and Monday's arrived

I feel nothing's more mundane than life
Beep Beep! The alarm goes at 6 in the morning
Snooze twice, cos work, that %#@! is just boring

Tired as $#&@, my pattern of sleep is reckless
But gotta rise to have time, to eat my breakfast
Gotta scoff it down, cos time is limited

Living the dream? Pfft don't think I am livin it
Don't even get time to peruse the paper
And 9-5 means I can't even do it later

The morning's done; there goes my half an hour
Now I only have 5 minutes for a bath or shower


[CHORUS X2]

[Verse 2]

Now I gotta get to work but it's so $#&@in' far
Have to choose whether to take the bus or car
See the bus is cheaper, but $#&@in takes forever

If late when drivin, you can blame the weather
Better to be in a car than bus, in peak hour traffic
The bus is full of Derro's, you can see how that's tragic

The drive to the city sucks, the expressway is gay
To arrive on time, I shoulda left straight away
Every road on the way, has roadworks and %#@!

Stand on the bus, though I know it won't hurt to sit
Feel like I've travelled forever, so I face my watch
Finally get to work and it's not even 8 O'clock


[CHORUS X2]


[Verse 3]
I get into the office, and I make my coffee
Need caffeine so bad, no one can take it off me

After the 1st call I know the day will drag
I'll have to buy lunch, cos I forgot to take my bag
As I sit there and work, my life's wasting away

"I Quit" are the words, I'm just waiting to say
5PM just can't arrive any faster
When it does it will be surprised by my laughter

Then ya get home, do $#&@ all, then it starts again
We gotta do this %#@! till our hearts will end
So we work till we're dead, and feel dead when we work

There's still 40 years left; that thought definitely hurts

[CHORUS X2]
