A day in the office...

Live vocals on this one.

lyrics

Keep all your empty cans and your rubber bands
in a rubber band ball that gets bigger by the day.
Soon it's as big as you and it's full of glue
you try to move but it unravels in your way.

The day may never end
and when will this morning ever end?
And nobody knows that you've been here
a million years or more my poor old friend.

Don't be a stranger here, be an engineer
be a closet queer you just seem curious to me.
Gizmos and gadget cars in bulimic bars
where the ra-ra's go to regurgitate their gear.

The day may never end
and when will this morning ever end?
And nobody told us that we would be here
until the fear made us depend.

Ebay is failing fast, all the geeks came last
but not on this electric super-market sweep.
Hair-nets and hand-me-downs on indignant clowns
with furrowed-frowns who make a date that you don't keep.

The day may never come
and you're sure the day won't ever come
when you see before you everyone
you fought with in the war you thought you'd won.

Gawd bless the Rolling Stones for their brittle tones
are keeping me from going mental at my desk.
Break-out the heroin and we'll break you in
I never thought it would break any of my freinds.

The day may never end
and when will this morning ever end?
Must be the day when we pretend
we spent the life we all wanted to spend.

Doldrums and office doodles, super-noodles,
food will screw you if you give it half a yard.
Life is a canope it's small and grey
it's what you pay is what you get is what is hard.
