| I am the king of the new white underclass
|
| I am the prince of the lazy and poor
|
| I am the one who sleeps the latest
|
| I am the one who won’t do my chores
|
| I am the god of unemployment
|
| The Antichrist of the American dream
|
| I used to fight for church and country
|
| But now I don’t fit into the corporate scheme
|
| I used to get up and go to work
|
| But I don’t play that game no more
|
| I won’t work for no corporation
|
| I won’t owe my soul to no company store
|
| Study hard and you’ll have a future
|
| Oh yeah, when the hell was that ever true?
|
| Study hard and you’ll still go nowhere
|
| Study hard and you’ll still get screwed
|
| I used to get up and go to work
|
| But now I just wanna stay in bed
|
| Maybe I’ll join the Communist Party
|
| Yeah maybe I’ll become a goddamn red
|
| Workers of the world, unite and do nothing
|
| Workers of the world, unite and relax
|
| Don’t get your boss that cup of coffee
|
| Don’t write that memo don’t send that fax
|
| You shouldn’t even pay your income tax
|
| Workers of the world, unite and be lazy
|
| Workers of the world, listen to me
|
| Another 8 hours at the factory
|
| Another 8 hours and what have you learned
|
| Be obedient and do what they tell you
|
| Be obedient and still get burned
|
| Another 8 hours at the factory
|
| Work all day for a tiny little check
|
| Work all day for no respect
|
| I used to get up and do my job
|
| But now I enjoy doin' nothin' better
|
| I think I’ll go bum around
|
| I think I’ll enjoy this lovely weather
|
| Maybe someday there’ll be a revolution
|
| Maybe someday we’ll have meaningful jobs
|
| But until that day I’m gonna be lazy
|
| I’m not gonna be no workin' slob
|
| I used to get up and go to work
|
| But I don’t play that game no more
|
| I’m not gonna work for no corporation
|
| I’m not gonna owe my soul to no company store
|
| I used to get up and go to work
|
| But now I just wanna stay in bed
|
| Maybe I’ll join the Communist Party
|
| Yeah maybe I’ll become a goddamn red |
