Office Man's Lament (Eat Shit Sleep)
from Wembley o Muerte
Verse:
I'm part of the first world
I got a job and a house and a car
My life's fucking boring
The security of it is what makes it so lame
Why can't it be precarious?
Full of risk, lack, authenticity!
I feel like a better person
Complaining about everything I got!
Chorus:
I start work at nine
Monday to friday, fifty weeks a year – Ohohoh!
Killing my time, at five I go home
Eat, shit, sleep 'till it starts over again!
Verse:
I'm part of the third world
I've got a job, rent a house, got no car
My life's fucking boring
Three hours commute to make minimum-wage
And while I am precarious
The livelihood of many depends on me
I can't quit and do my bidding
Boredom's better than hunger but I am stuck!
Chorus:
I start work at nine
Monday to friday, fifty weeks a year – Ohohoh!
Killing my time, at nine I go home
Eat, shit, sleep 'till it starts over again!
And again and again
Over and over again! 2x
Verse:
On fridays I have an after-work beer
My routine is my best peer
If I could just change it all
Write my name on every fucking wall!
I'd finally feel creative
Like I could make a difference in the world
Not like now when I feel useless
Life's so tough for the likes of me!
Chorus:
I start work at nine
Monday to friday, fifty weeks a year – Ohohoh!
Killing my time, at five I go home
Eat, shit, sleep 'till it starts over again!
I start work at nine
Monday to friday, fifty weeks a year – Ohohoh!
Killing my time, at nine I go home
Eat, shit, sleep 'till it starts over again!
And again and again
Over and over again!
And again and again
Eat, shit, sleep 'till it starts over again!
