lyrics

Waking up to a harsh reality,
Takes a good half hour to get me arse in gear,
Peak morning traffic crawling inch by inch,
Roadworks and red lights make me flip my lid...

Deadlines!
A dozen orders to be picked, packed and wrapped and on the back of the truck by,
Lunchtime!
Storeman's breathing down my neck, pen and clipboard in hand, forever whingeing at me,
Deadlines!
Stacking pallet after pallet, the monotony is sending me out of,
My mind!
Everyday's the same, a slave to my wage, I might just kill somebody...

Staring at a corpse in the bathroom mirror,
Cold morning shriv ruins my whole day,
Chasing my Weet-Bix with a beer,
Teeth worn, jaw aching from chewing hard on hate...

Deadlines!
The orders keep piling up, it never stops, I'm going ratty working every Saturday,
No time!
To pursue my dreams, or kick up my feet, can't keep the missus happy,
Dead eyes!
Hanging out of my head, searching for novelty in any given situation,
My mind!
Is a jumbled mess, numbed by the grind, running on autopilot...

The same day keeps repeating again and again and again,
Feel like a rat in a cage,
Get up, go to work, get home, go to sleep, repeat,
Until ya pensioner age!

Do I dare live out my fantasies?
Grab a .243, whack in a magazine,
Line 'em up, hammer cocked,
Pop, pop, head shot,
Empty the clip in the boss...
