|
Traded in my tennis shoes |
|
For steel-toed rubber boots |
|
I got my own uniform to wear |
|
They've given me a plastic hat |
|
Earplugs and a funny net for my head |
|
I'm well-prepared |
|
Time comes when you have to choose |
|
Occupation you can use |
|
Well they say it should be something you like |
|
But hard times just don't allow |
|
Poor boy to be choosy how he provides |
|
How you get by |
|
Watch out now here they come |
|
My god what have I done? |
|
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down |
|
One day we're gonna make them change |
|
We gonna turn this mess around |
|
Underneath fluorescent light |
|
Night is day and day is night |
|
Oh we're waiting on a break to come |
|
For some coffee with a honey bun |
|
And small talk about the things we wished we'd done |
|
When we were young |
|
Time's up boy |
|
Watch out now here they come |
|
My god what have I done? |
|
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down |
|
One day we're gonna make them change |
|
We gonna turn this mess around |
|
Down the line, down the line |
|
We're sending it down the line, down the line |
|
We're putting in overtime, overtime |
|
We're gonna stay late |
|
Watch out now here they come |
|
My god what have I done? |
|
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down |
|
One day we're gonna make them change |
|
We gonna turn this mess around |
