[Verse 1]

He says he’s got a deadline

(I go to work)

He says there’s no overtime

(I go to work)

He says there’s something important that he needs right now

That’s unspecified

(I go to work)

He says he knows I put in a long week

But he’s gotta be in PCB so

He needs me so

(I go to work)

And rent’s due next week so

(I go to work)

[Chorus]

These sons of bitches got me

Damn dog tired

But if I bitch then I get

Fired fired fired

And my short change from my shit wage

It sure ain’t keeping my ass afloat

Paycheck goes straight to the government

All that’s left just ain’t gonna cover it

I work near for free

And all that work ain’t workin’ for me

[Verse 2]

I gotta trust the process

(And go to work)

That’s some shit that the boss says

(Just go to work)

Put on your big boy pants get your beach house plans outta your head

(And go to work)

That Wonder Bread price is high

And I got mouths to feed at night

And my state politician’s on a big boat fishin’

While I’m sinking like the sinker on his line

[Chorus]

These sons of bitches got me

Damn dog tired

But if I bitch then I get

Fired fired fired

And my short change from my shit wage

It sure ain’t keeping my ass afloat

Paycheck goes straight to the government

All that’s left just ain’t gonna cover it

I work near for free

And all that work ain’t workin’ for me

[Bridge]

La la la la la la

Paycheck goes straight to the government

La la la la la la

All that’s left just ain’t gonna cover it

La la la la la la

Credits and debtors and damn it I’m over it

[Pre-Chorus]

When they lay me down six feet in the sand

They say “here lies a lifelong company man”

[Chorus]

These sons of bitches got me

Damn dog tired

But if I bitch then I get

Fired fired fired

And my short change from my shit wage

It sure ain’t keeping my ass afloat

Paycheck goes straight to the government

All that’s left just ain’t gonna cover it

I work near for free

Tell that to my back and knees

But I’m in too deep to leave

And all that work ain’t workin’ for me
