Whistle While You Work, Asshole

from Soft Opening by BOSSHOLE

lyrics

Whistle while you work, asshole

Must be more to life than all this
All work no play do what the boss says
Severance pay is chips and soda
Same shit new day
Got six days work at Dunkin donuts
Say they rent but they don’t they own us
Then lights out by nine in the lion’s cages
the wages of sin are minimum wages
Hi-Ho….

Heaven’s got to be one of my favorite places
Climb my way up to reserved parking spaces
I’ll use my ten-cent shift-differential
And gun it when the light turns yellow
A purple heart for honorable mention
A can of soup from the clearance section
I’ll write my book on trial size free samples
And scatter one in each direction
Hi-Ho….

Hi-ho hi-ho hi-ho…
Hi-ho hi-ho hi-ho…
Whistle while you work asshole

Wrap the world when the workday’s over
In plastic bags and wet newspaper
The graveyard grins like polished dentures
The fountain’s full of Alka-Seltzer
Red tag sale on fading mirages
Uncultivated MacDonald’s arches
In greener pastures all paved over
Neath skies painted grey and prison orange

Hi-Ho…..

Hi-ho hi-ho hi-ho…
Hi-ho hi-ho hi-ho…
Whistle while you work asshole

The weekend’s dead at great adventure
Hung from plastic architecture
On dollar menus long as sermons
And in pants pissed waiting to ride the mixer
Death by visa and discover
And in glasses full of liquid plumber
In spaces meant for dust to gather
The time has come but doesn’t matter
