Work Song

Caroline's Spine

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

Never do nothing til I'm showered and clean

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

I never leave the house without something to eat



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 my diploma sitting on my shelf



And 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

Stayin' late 'cause I'm a beginner, call my girlfriend cancel dinner

Says she thinks I'm having an office affair



And the montony is killing me

And I try to deny this corporate lobotomy



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

Put a smile on my face, I didn't get fired

Bavk at home to clear my head, I grab a drink fall into bed

Forty more years until I get to retire



And the montony is killing me

And I try to deny this corporate lobotomy
