[Verse 1] Open your eyes, time to wake up Shit, shower, brush your teeth, drain your cup Wolf down a bowl of Ready-Brek Fasten a tie around your neck

[Pre-Chorus] All over the city we arise, arise For a job we despise, despise, despise

[Chorus] I don't want to go into work this morning I don't think I can deal with the wrath of the general public And I don't have the heart to explain to another poor soul Why it is their Disability Living Allowance will be stopping shortly

[Verse 2] Busfulls of meat slumped in our seats Staring at phone screens and our own feet Shuffling off at the business park Let's linger awhile in the smoking bubble

[Pre-Chorus] From every direction we arrive, arrive With a swipe of the fob, the fob, the fob, the fob

[Chorus] I don't want to go back to that seething viper's nest I can't listen anymore to the bleating of the terminally depressed Or the stream of opinions from the creep in the office next to mine I dream of bashing his skull into a brainy pulp with a Sellotape dispenser

[Verse 3] In the staff room, lost in a daze Shovelling crisps into my face After an unspeakably awful Call with a grieving mother In Wetherspoons on the fruit-machines Sinking my umpteenth Peroni Cackling like a hyena At the nasty jokes of my colleagues None of whom I can stand

[Pre-Chorus] In my bed, I can hear the strangled voices Of all the people I've failed, I've failed, I've failed

[Chorus] I don't want to go into work this morning I just want to lie here and play the new Call of Duty I finally gathered the courage to ring in sick

[Outro] I'm not coming into work today I'm really ill Not coming into work today Or for that matter any other day I'm sick to my soul I refuse to do this dirty work anymore I refuse, refuse, refuse, refuse Refuse, refuse, refuse
