Get to Work on Time
Album: Worlds Apart l.p.
Release Date: 1985
Get up in the morning
Alarm clocks clean socks
Brush your teeth look neat
Join the others on the street
Bus ride tube train
Going off to work again
Up to the third floor
Name on the office door
Paper lying on the floor
Pick it up and do some more
Lunch break break down
Valium and alcohol
Nicotine adrenalin
Don't it make your head spin?
Back to the grindstone
Head on the guillotine
Pulling all the stops out
Socs up head down
Doing it good
You're doing it well
Cos you wanna please the boss
But you wish he'd go to he
But the wages in the brown bag
Underneath the name tag
Are keeping you in line
So you do the overtime
And you get the traain late again
Surrouneded by the same lame
People playing your game
No one ven knows your name
Back straight home late
All the food is out of date
Wife has left a note
Saying 'don't forget your coat'
Qk snack head back
Living on the wrong track
Should've tried refusing
But you could've got the sack
It's getting so confusing
Cos you know you're only losing
But the choice of ever choosing
Never seemed to cross your mind
So you get to bed at ten> Thinking 'never again'
But you get up in the morning
Ad you get to work on time
