about

woke up this morning afraid to move
I said, " there can't be a god with all these rules"
he said, "shut up boy you better crawl on through
that door into cubicles with boring people you can't ignore

into the fire, we all become
just a little more effective and a little more dumb
c'mon I thought we're having fun

working for the future
but the future never comes
only projections and office parties we can't afford
that's when money ruled the world
c'mon and bring it back home

woke up this morning without my feet
I said, "I ain't killing time, it's killing me"
stuck in a time loop
stuck in a time loop
stuck in a time loop
stuck in a time mother-fucking loop

what I can't have
I can sleep on
or I can google later on

if we aspire we can retire when we're 72
stare at computers stare at the water cooler
how am I alive if I am buried inside

into the fire we all become
just a little more robotic and a little more dumb
c'mon I thought we're having fun

working for the future
but the future never comes
only projections and office parties we can't afford
that's when money ruled the world
c'mon and bring it back home
