lyrics

40 hours a week well it doesn't seem like much
To the 168 that the week's made of
Until you consider that there are 56
In the sleep schedules that doctors recommend
So that's 72 hours to do what you want
If you're lucky enough to only have one job
'Cause we're born to die and we get
To live paycheck to paycheck
Making all this money for companies
That would happily replace us with unpaid machines
But don't bite the hand that feeds, 'cause that's how the saying goes
And they've got one hand in our pockets and the other on our throats
The supply and demand it demands we comply
Because every basic human need has been commodified
And so we're working for the weekend
To get fucked up with all our friends
But if work is the reason that we drink and smoke
Why do we keep going back to pay to cope?
This fucked up cycle, well it really makes ya think
Isn't this a little ironic?

Don't you think? Don't you think?
Isn't it a little ironic?
Don't you think? Don't you think?
Isn't it a little ironic?
Ironic, ironic
I bet you don't think I know what that means
Isn't it a little ironic?
Ironic, ironic
I bet you don't think I know what that means
Well I know what it means, it's French Canadian
Something about rain on your wedding day

And if I had a nickel for every time I've heard
"this company's different, we're like family here"
I wouldn't need a fucking job anymore
I'd have enough money to actually retire
Because just like the families that we grew up with
Our work families are fucking abusive
So don't ask for a raise or think about calling off
Or they'll try and make you thank them for your time on the clock
Because we're born to cry and we get
To grow up and become more depressed
We're only worth as much as we can produce
And they don't pay us enough to afford rope for the noose
We're all just cogs in their machines
As replaceable as any other human being
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, your job

And now I'm here to remind you of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny them, the money you lost their company
Oughta know, oughta know; oughta know they'll fucking steal your soul
Oughta know, oughta know; every company is awful
Oughta know, oughta know; you, you oughta know
Oughta know, oughta know; you, you oughta know

And if another person tells me to get a real job
I'm gonna kick their ass then kill my boss and landlord
