Nose Dive

So it's coffee for the weekdays and alcohol for the ends
Self prescribed
To exorcise
Those demons in my head
Preaching from a pulpit to a congregation lost

'Give nothing less but your whole soul and forget the cost'

But I'm a fully paid up member of the underpaid and lost
I spent 67 hours this week shackled to my job
If I was given half the chance again I'd rather not sell my soul
But I need something in my pockets to accompany the holes

I need something in my pockets to accompany the holes

NOSE DIVE! NOSE DIVE!
Into the downfall, straight into the downfall
When the only thing worse than being exploited
Is not being exploited at all
We head into the
NOSE DIVE! NOSE DIVE!
Into the downfall, straight into the downfall

Riskee! Go tell them!

Bang bu bu Bang bu Bang goes the till drawer
Time is a currency and they steal yours
Company dress code
I got dressed in a ditch
Shaved head walking in like
IT'S BRITNEY BITCH
Leave Britney alone!
I'm just doing my thing
Roll up on my manager like I'm
Ronnie Fuckin Pickering
Minimum rage keeps me off of the streets
But I wanna put a bullet in the big corporate beast

Another prole
Another drone
Another 40 fucking years working my hands down to the bone
Another cog
In the machine
Greased with alcohol, diazepam, marijuana and caffeine

The questions always itching 'Should I be doing more?'
I'm holding on to principles I simply can't afford
Turning out my pockets for £2.70
But I'm stuck out in the pouring rain coz I can't afford the fee

The questions always itching 'Should I be doing more?'
I'm sick of shouting slogans without kicking through the door
Screaming 'Neither God Nor Master!' with no sense of irony
As I drag my arse back into work for the endless drudgery
