Dull Boy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On the grind non-stop, both hands on the clock Twenty-four seven 'cause this life is a job My singular pennies aren't worth gold to fools Cause he who has the gold in this world makes the rules Taxes and mortgage, they already seek The "eighty" in my name goes to hours every week Two jobs, one life - one day, one night My cubicle prison hides me from the sunlight Lost on a cycle, I barely sleep phases I see no promotion, just CEO raises My regimen changes as temperament rages If only my bills had presidents' faces Stupid solutions, executives got 'em 'Cause adding more managers must solve the problem! Staring at monitors, eyes going blind Plus carpal tunnel from coding overtime [Chorus] All work and no play makes a dull boy All work and no play makes a dull boy All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (Yes!) All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (Come on!) All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (Let's go!) All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (What?!) [Verse 2] Back to the grind, gotta start it up fast Can't tell this week apart from the last Sit through meetings, leave without speaking Stay late on Fridays come in the whole weekend Idiots, failures, customers, clients Chairmen, executives, VPs, tyrants Names all the same, there's no denying it Learn the terminology, know your environment Tired of treadmill pace in the rat race Searching the maze for the cheese giving chase Really quite different, feeling out of place Watching the bosses stuffing their fat face Overworked, underpaid, see my frustration So much to do, can't even use my vacation Technical lead on a one person team But this doesn't seem like the American dream [Chorus] All work and no play makes a dull boy All work and no play makes a dull boy All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (Yes!) All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (Come on!) All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (Let's go!) All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (What?!) [Bridge] Ah! Let's go! Uh! Oh! Yes! Ah! Ah! Yes! [Chorus] All work and no play makes a dull boy (Come on!) All work and no play makes a dull boy (Now!) All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (Uh!) All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (Uh!) All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (Yes!) All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (Come on!) All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (Let's go!) All work and no pay makes me a poor boy! (What?!) [Skit] Hey, baby, it's me It's so great to see you so excited about this Zero One album, I think it's gonna be amazing Especially since you decided not to do that stupid thing where people record their voicemails And then you play them back at the beginning or end of the track - that is so lame Anyway, I'll see you tonight after you're done recording! Bye
