Time to join the sheep

Winning Days

Working hard, for a better life
Money spent, and money earned
Cheap beer, television
Party hard, sleep all day
Monday, to Friday comes
Weekend comes, we feel alive
(for a while...)
Company car, big salary
Perks of the job, keep me in line
Loyalty, bought and paid for
Winning days, are here to say

Happy Little Robots

Happy little robots
We're always happy to build the machine
We're all
Happy little robots
We're always happy to be the machine
Working for big business
We work and work and
Work to make them rich
and we're
Buying from big business
They need our money
To become rich
Working for the big boss
They pay us money
Cause they know what's best
and while we're
Working for the big boss
We take our penance
And they take the rest
This is our dream
This is our life
This is our truth
Mines offices and factories
That's all we need to
Be happy and free
and with
Television to be our friend
She'll always tell us
What to think and be
We can't wait for the weekend
So we can drink and
Be happy and free
and with
Drugs, alcohol and fried food
The world becomes a blur
And we are free
I'm working hard for you

A Little More
01:44
|
|||
|
A little more strength
A little more loyalty
A little more overtime
A little more sacrifice
A little more time
A little more compliance
A little less soul
That's all we ask...

Overtime Boogie
03:00
|
|||
|
Doin' overtime for the right to exist
Workin' to the bone, don't have time to rest
Need the extra money
gotta pay those bills o'mine
Gotta keep the mines and factories humming
Gotta keep the boss's revenue stream flowing
Workin' as hard as I can
doin' overtime again
Bought a fancy house, a shiny car and boat
A fancy lifestyle that I gotta keep afloat
Livin' the high life
gotta pay for it somehow

I'm The Boss
03:58
|
|||
|
I got my nice office
I got a big salary
I got my healthy
I don't like anarchy
I got a company car
I’m the man in control
At work I'm a star
My heart's a black hole
I'm the big cheese
I'm the bees knees
I’m the boss
I’m the manager
A robot with no soul
I’m in charge
I run the show
I'm the one in control
The pay check is awesome
Who needs a heart
The boss took me from the bottom
And made me his sweetheart

TGIF
03:10
|
|||
|
Thank god it's friday
The last weekday
Thank good for the weekend
Don't have to pretend (no more)
Time for me to forget
With a drink and a cigarette
Time to forget the week
And release my inner freak (the real me)
TGIF
Thank god it's Friday
Time to go home to bed
Alcohol's gone to my head
Time to enjoy the weekend
Too short to recommend (but still..)

Weekend Warrior

I’m a weekend warrior
I’m in charge, I’m the man
On the weekend Im notorious
I’m the man with the plan
I’m the life of the party
I'll show you how to party
At work I keep my head down
Do whatever I am told
Kept in line with my head down
Believe everything I'm sold
But when the weekend comes
A person I become, I'm a-
weekend warrior

Live to work
Work to live
Live to work

Big brother is watching - the sonic equivalent of Orwell's 1984 put to music, with dark, noisy soundscapes and bleak industrial washes - necessary listening
