I Love Work

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Woke up this morning a little too early A little too tired, a little too surly Guess I got up on the wrong side of the bed When I shoulda stayed in it instead But I gotta go to work 'cause I love it Oh, how I wanna tell the boss to shove it No matter how I want to crash Need abundance of funds when it comes to cash So I wash my face with a little bit of water To wake me up ("Does it work?" "Yeah, sorta") Inspect the reflection, check my eyes They're bloodshot, that's no surprise So I wake up every day the same way No matter what time I hit the hay Fall asleep at like seven o'clock And I wake up tired, wearing dirty socks, thinking [Hook] I love (I love work) Work (I love work) I love (Geez, I love work) Work [Verse 2] Put my shoes on, strap them up Put on my shorts, scratch my nut Put on my shirt, get something to eat And then I'm out the door and I'm into the street Driving my car, still puttin' my clothes on When I realise I left the stove on I'm gonna be late if I have to go home But I got no choice so I'll bust a U-bone At the buisiest intersection Probably starting to wish that I'd slept in 'Cause now a cop is pullin' me over And I'm quite sure that I'm not quite sober But he's happy just giving me a ticket When he pisses off, I'm gonna flick it Out the window and go to work wired Hope I don't get fired for being so tired A quarter to is when I'm supposed to start But I'm looking at my watch and it's quarter past Boss is telling me to get off my arse But it's against my religion to be working fast So I said another company has made some offers If you want me to stay, "I need a new office!" He's fuming and foaming at the mouth When he reminded of the stove at my house Never went back to turn it off Because I got sidetracked, interacting with the cop I'm telling my boss how a fire might burn My house and my stuff and the money that I've earned Thought it was a lie, wouldn't let me go home So I quit my job to save everything I own Bust him in the eye and called him a jerk When it got me to thinking, I love work [Hook] I love (I love work) Work (I love work) I love (Geez, I love work) Work [Verse 3] Speeding home, I got pulled over again By the same cop saying, "Well if it isn't my old friend!" Looked him in the eye, told him the truth So he came to my house to check the proof And there's the roof, fully ablaze I guess I'm just havin' one of those days I lost my job, my house burned down And I got two tickets from the same clown All my memories are up in smoke All my enemies are fuckin' stoked 'Cause now I've got nothin' left And I can't even collect a counter check Because for that, you need ID And the Centrelink staff don't recognise me Still have a hangover, my head hurts But none of this would have happened if I didn't go to work [Verse 4] Now I wake up in the afternoon Hardly ever even leave my room Unless I need to shit or piss Or eat something, 'cause I don't wanna miss Jerry Springer, Ricki Lake I don't wanna clean the mess that I make I'm allowed and proud to be a slob It's all part of the parcel of my new job I can wake up with serious bed hair I don't brush it, it just sits there The main concern is I get enough sleep And I hand my form in every couple of weeks 'Cause the government pays for me to stay home And I much prefer to be on my own I got tired of bein' a clerk But now, I love work [Hook] I love (I love work) Work (I love work) I love (Geez, I love work) Work
