Monday morning comes, another weekend
Has gone before I poured myself a drink
Back to treading water in the deep end
Trying not to sink
Man, this nine-to-five is getting heavy
I’m running out of fingers for the dyke
Throw another sandbag on the levee
And watch the river rise
Chorus:
I wanna spray
Paint on this computer
I wanna take
A hammer to that clock
I wanna trade
This old life for a new one
And find a place that time forgot
And leave behind
This soul-sucking job
There’s vultures up there circling above me
Creditors just waiting for my pay
Nobody at the bank is gonna love me
I need a holiday
Cause in the end you’ll only want a little more
And in the end you wonder what you did it for
Chorus
Hey, this job sucks my soul
This job sucks my soul
This job sucks my soul
This job sucks. . .
