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

|
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

|
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

Sunny days
Forever
Monday morning
Is here again
Time to go to work
Time to earn my keep
Time to know my place
Time to join the sheep
Monday morning...
