lyrics

Every day I go to a job,
It’s not my job, it’s somebody else’s
I just fill in for the man
Who’s sick of doing it
Plant myself down in a chair
And fill in the role I’m prescribed
To receive my weekly allowance
To pay my bills
And I’m not ill over it
But it’s not me
Not even supposed to be
See, I’m just a commodity
Sell my labor to the higher bidder
Going once, and going gone
And I assume that people know
That when I’m not at work,
I’m still me
In fact, when I am at work,
I’m not me
Just a pair of hands and ears like anybody
Once I leave I regain creativity
But for whatever silly means
I can’t tell people that
Or I’m made to feel guilty
Cuz I don’t obsess over
What moves without me
Cuz I don’t obsess over
What moves without me
I’m not obsessing over
What moves without me
I won’t obsess over it
I won’t obsess over
What moves without me
Cuz I tell em:
Life goes on when you close your eyes
I know mine does
I close my eyes every Monday at nine
I open em up every Friday at five
Life goes on when you close your eyes
We’ll
Always
Have our
Weekends
Weekends
We’ll
Always
Have our
Weekends
And I’m gonna need more than that each week
I’m up for sale for longer than I sleep
I’m not gonna sleep in two days a week
Then say, time’s up, time to go be bleak
Oh, but sit down, listen to yourself, so angry all the time
This is life, que sera
I know it feels like it’s the end
But it’s just a means toward one
Don’t get all soggy eyed
Don’t blink all fast
Like you don’t remember when you saw me last
And don’t be astonished if you start to do well
Bargaining your liberty for the highest sale
But don’t pull strings to stop that
Just allow it to such a degree
That you can make it to Friday still in one piece
And I’m well aware that I sound like I’m giving in to something,
Allowing it all to happen to me, to us
Just for the sake of the little shred of dignity
I get from Friday to Sunday,
Convenient for me,
And I’m like so many others
“I can’t make it to your general strike,
I have work in the morning”
And I won’t say it doesn’t conflict in me,
That I’m not willing to lose my job
To camp out in the cold
Cuz that’s where I’d be anyway
If not for the man who gives me my pay every Tuesday
And I don’t have time to reconcile anything,
When I’m making my tiny ends meet
I can’t even think on my own feet
And I wonder
If ever
You and I
Can escape
This nowhere zone of financial straits
But you know what they haven’t taken away,
It’s not our dignity, not our self-respect,
Cuz they certainly keep our prides in check
But there’s one little thing we still have today
And we’re gonna let them take it,
It’s little and it’s stupid to some,
And not everyone has it,
But a lot of us do, us lucky ones,
I’ll tell you what it is:
We’ll
Always
Have our
Weekends
Weekends
We’ll
Always
Have our
Weekends
Come Friday night, I don’t have to be an automaton,
I don’t have to take pride in what they take from me,
I can just be me,
I can be the real me, open up my real power,
My real liberty
So tell em, tell em:
Life goes on when you close your eyes
I know mine does
I close my eyes every Monday at nine
I open em up every Friday at five
Life goes when you close your eyes
We’ll
Always
Have our
Weekends
Weekends
We’ll
Always
Have our
Weekends
That’s not enough
Really not so much
I need more than that
I’m tearing my time back
Right Now
