| I’m punchin' a clock, carryin' my lunch in a box
|
| So don’t ever assume that my life is something it’s not
|
| Shit, I got a 9 to 5, despite the fact that I’m as live
|
| As any jerk-off cat that’s signed to Jive
|
| My boss is trying to drop me out my tree house
|
| For at least three hours a day, he’s chewin' me out
|
| For two to three thou a month, they don’t pay me enough
|
| To spend my work day, taking this stuff this jerk say
|
| I ain’t workin' over time
|
| I’m tryin' to hear my name on MTV news up in Kurt Loader’s lines
|
| So I work over rhymes, and I’m behind in my paperwork
|
| I’m late for work, 'cause I spend my nights chasin' skirts
|
| My measly cheque don’t make it worth the stress
|
| That hurts my chest, not to mention I’m immersed in debt
|
| To the top of a turtle neck, pissin' and moanin'
|
| But why should anyone listen to me, when I don’t listen to no one
|
| Consider this as an omen, I could go berserk
|
| At any moment, like a mailman fed up with postal work
|
| I went from happy to nasty like a bipolar jerk
|
| To shoot 'em down the lounge with the fine Folgers perks
|
| Punch in, punch out, lunch in, lunch out
|
| I’ve been lookin for a building with nice window to jump out
|
| Feelin' self-destructive? |
| Sick of the daily grind?
|
| Lately I feel disruptive, and I think it’s mailman time
|
| Day in, day out, it seems like theres no way out
|
| I pulled the twelve gauge out and shot off twenty-eight rounds
|
| And watch the pellets spread out, killin my associates
|
| My boss is gonna get it now, and find out what Postal is
|
| «Good morning Mr. Schwartz» «Good morning Louis
|
| You’ve been late three times this month already, I believe this is the fourth»
|
| «I don’t want you misinformed, it’s probably more
|
| You’re not counting the times I didn’t sign the time sheet on the lobby floor»
|
| «Right, well if you feel your job’s secure, keep it up then»
|
| «Apparently someone hasn’t had his coffee and he needs a muffin»
|
| «Perhaps you need a brief discussion, a policy refresher
|
| And where’s your progress note?» |
| «Oh, I forgot that on my dresser»
|
| «Well if this case is too much pressure, we can ease the tension
|
| Starting today, you forfeit your pay and take a week’s suspension
|
| You really should prioritize, you can’t stay up all night
|
| Like some college guy, bathing in beer like it’s a party life»
|
| «Look, I’m sorry I’ve been screwin up
|
| I know I got the perfect job, but I’ve been working hard on this music stuff»
|
| «Well Louis, you need a good job, and I know this one can be tough
|
| But rapping isn’t real work, and it can be just as hard»
|
| «Man, what you trying to stop me from being a star?»
|
| «You don’t even play an instrument» «Yo I don’t need a guitar to season these
|
| bars»
|
| «Alright well settle down now, there’s no need for alarm, try and remain calm»
|
| «Or, I’ll light this fuckin' office up with guns, fire, and napalm»
|
| You’re just another asshole, who wants to see me dressed up in my dad’s clothes
|
| Working underpaid until I’m that old
|
| As far as that goes, you’ll never live to see it take place
|
| I’ve brought a little present for you in my aftershave case
|
| Punch in, punch out, lunch in, lunch out
|
| I’ve been lookin for a building with nice window to jump out
|
| Feelin' self-destructive? |
| Sick of the daily grind?
|
| Lately I feel disruptive, and I think its mailman time
