lyrics

I think I've had enough, so you can take your job back,
I've taken far too much, If I stay there will be combat.

Brand new job, I felt blessed,
Fresh new shirt, name tag on chest,
Bottles on the shelf just like George Best,
Oh, the irony of a health and safety test,
Gotta get my head down, gotta make dollar,
Get the girls attention so they say “holla”,
Make a good wage with an ironed collar,
Six pounds an hour, should I really bother?
Manager smells like shit, with a gut full of beer,
“Stick it out son, one day you'll make it here”
I could tell from the lines on his face,
He's been doing this far to many years,
Traffic, mayhem, ten minutes late,
They are right there, right in my face,
Maybe I should have become a doctor,
'Coz this job really ain't that great.

Wake up, put the kettle on,
Game face I have to show I get along,
No holiday that's just typical,
Can't change shift that's you being cynical,
So I get it, you don't have to say: I'm not the employee you asked for,
I've already burnt my uniform and I'll escort myself to the door (door).
Fighting through the week, energy drinks,
Help me to not run out of steam,
Tablets help the headaches,
This is a monotonous dream,
I can not play dead and this be my reality,
I'de rather be at home watching Netflix on my TV.

I think I've had enough.
