"Work" lyrics

"Work"

He says he's got a deadline
(I go to work)
He says there's no overtime
(I go to work)
He says there's something important that he needs right now
That's unspecified
(Go to work)
He says he knows I put in a long week
But he's gotta be in PCB so
He needs me so
(I go to work)
And rent's due next week so
(I go to work)

These sons of bitches got me
Damn dog tired
But if I bitch then I get
Fired fired fired
And my short change from my shit wage
It sure ain't keeping my ass afloat
Paycheck goes straight to the government
All that's left just ain't gonna cover it
I work near for free
And all that work ain't workin' for me

I gotta trust the process
(And go to work)
That's some shit that the boss says
(Just go to work)
Put on your big boy pants get your beach house plans outta your head
(And go to work)
That Wonder Bread price is high
And I got mouths to feed at night
And my state politician's on a big boat fishin'
While I'm sinking like the sinker on his line

These sons of bitches got me
Damn dog tired
But if I bitch then I get
Fired fired fired
And my short change from my shit wage
It sure ain't keeping my ass afloat
Paycheck goes straight to the government
All that's left just ain't gonna cover it
I work near for free
And all that work ain't workin' for me

La la la la la la
Paycheck goes straight to the government
La la la la la la
All that's left just ain't gonna cover it
La la la la la la
Credits and debtors and damn it I'm over it

When they lay me down six feet in the sand
They say "here lies a lifelong company man"

These sons of bitches got me
Damn dog tired
But if I bitch then I get
Fired fired fired
And my short change from my shit wage
It sure ain't keeping my ass afloat
Paycheck goes straight to the government
All that's left just ain't gonna cover it
I work near for free
Tell that to my back and knees
But I'm in too deep to leave
And all that work ain't workin' for me
