The Boss is a Lord of an earlier Day
Work when they want
Work when they say
Go on! - Work your whole life away!
A cog in a machine
A life-long bad dream
But you never can win
Only can lose
A mean old thing is Working Life Blues
(Chorous)
A bum if you don't
A mug if you do
The life of a drone
Make stuff you'll never use
Make stuff you'll never own
Just to get by
Just to pay your dues
A mean old thing is Working Life Blues
A slave but by name
A real loser's game
They'll tell you! - Your Free!
But you aren't!
They'll tell you! - You Can!
But you can't!
Cos there's no other choice you get to choose
A mean old thing is Working Life Blues
(Chorous)
So go on! - Dream of work no more
Walking forever out of the door
The big 'Getaway!'
But the best years are gone
All traded away
So here's the real truth
Here's the real 'trues'
You aint gained nothing
Cos' when you win you still lose
A mean old thing is this Working Life Blues
(Chorous to fade)
