All the reasons I gave up working in an office rolled into one song. Featuring the noodling licks of Nathan Digby, Esq.

lyrics

My days are blurred by pin striped shirts, my feet are bound in leather
The lights are bright, they hurt my eyes all we talk about's the weather
The carpets bland, the wall is bare, the clock is my best friend
I'm scared of saying anything in case the words offend

This little world of invoice forms sucks and pulls you in
People start to forget under suits they're just skin
The only pie they ever have is always facts and figures
The only pie I choose to have has to be delicious

So I've given up working for the weekend
and I'm working on living for today
I've started to remember i don't need to defend
my choice to live my life my way

Everyone has meetings to discuss their next meeting
The canteen lunch ain't my ideal idea of eating
I don't agree with any boss but I have to nod my head
The only thing that gets me through is visions of my bed

So I've given up working for the man
And I'm working on living for myself
And even though i know that they just won't understand
I'm happy to be craving nothing else

The fax machine is broken, the paper clips are bent
My workflow efficiency is at zero per cent
Everybody knows that I'm biding my time
I just want to leave while I'm still in my prime

So I've given up working for the weekend
and I'm working on living for today
I've started to remember i don't need to defend
my choice to live my life my way

So I've given up working for the man
And I'm working on living for myself
And even though i know that they just won't understand
I'm happy to be craving nothing else
