Select language to translate this lyric
Screaming clock, crooked walk, ungodly hour
Curse the man as you stand in the shower
Wondering how you ever landed the subscription
To punching clocks and wearing socks and office friction
As you snake, brake, make your way through traffic
You see the SOBâs in HOV are laughing
Run the hall, to your stall, all perspired
You find youâre late, itâs half past eight, and youâre fired
Cubicles and Tylenol
Slave away the day
Pass the glass, make the moment last
Tomorrowâs just a day away
Pass the glass, make the moment last
Tomorrowâs just a day away
Like a drone, on the phone, taking orders
Hide in bathrooms and wander in the corridors
Pleading, begging as the seconds pass like hours
For salvation from the clockâs sadistic power
Afternoon, as you swoon, at your desktop
Jump online, wasting time, feel your brain stop
Suffer endlessly from your bossâ mood swings
As you think about your drink when the bell rings
Five long days in an office space
You wonder where the years have gone
If this isnât just a white collar prison
Tell me, where did the promises go wrong?
