"Work Song" - Caroline's Spine

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
Take my faxes to be copied, grab a dounut, grab some coffee
Picture my diploma sitting on my self

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 breakin records
Five hundered messages from hell knows where

Staying late cause I'm a beginner
Call my girlfriend, cancel dinner
Says she thinks I'm having an office afair

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