lyrics

Why work?
Why not fill your days with joy?
Spend more time with the ones you love
And then scramble your ass off for rent and 'lectricity
Temp when you have to
Relax when you don't
And try to ignore that nagging chest pain
Fib your way through your tax returns and spend the rest of your life in jail

Thy got you where they want you
And it's all downhill from here

Why work at all?
Why waste money on suits and ties?
When you can have comfy shoes and three-day-old scruff
And get typecast as a lazy slacker
See if you can convince them that you're qualified
For mental disability checks and unemployment
Chill in the atrium of the Galaxy Towers
And get welcomed to the world of private security

They got you where they want you
And it's all downhill from here

So now
If you're wondering where I've been
Choked by steam of my ship come in
And the ferry from Hoboken
Just know that this tangle of tickertape is the price for our Empire State
Unless, of course, you're just a reprobate
Like me and my mates!

Oh
They got you where they want you
And it's all downhill from here

Life is short
Too short to waste in a cubicle
Drop out of the rat race and feels superior
As you search for a buyer for your magnum opus
Burn your I.D. and declare yourself free
You'll feel real American until you get carded
Go off the grid like the militiamen did and get roasted alive by the Federal Government
