40 Hours a week well it doesn't seem like much To the 168 that the week's made of Until you consider that there are 56 In the sleep schedules that doctors recommend So that's 72 hours to do what you want If you're lucky enough to only have one job 'Cause we're born to die and we get To live paycheck to paycheck Making all this money for companies That would happily replace us with unpaid machines But don't bite the hand that feeds, 'cause that's how the saying goes And they've got one hand in our pockets and the other on our throats The supply and demand it demands we comply Because every basic human need has been commodified And so we're working for the weekend To get fucked up with all our friends But if work is the reason that we drink and smoke Why do we keep going back to pay to cope? This fucked up cycle, well it really makes ya think Isn't this a little ironic? Don't you think? Don't you think? Isn't it a little ironic? Don't you think? Don't you think? Isn't it a little ironic? Ironic, ironic I bet you don't think I know what that means Isn't it a little ironic? Ironic, ironic I bet you don't think I know what that means Well I know what it means, it's French Canadian Something about rain on your wedding day And if I had a nickel for every time I've heard "this company's different, we're like family here" I wouldn't need a fucking job anymore I'd have enough money to actually retire Because just like the families that we grew up with Our work families are fucking abusive So don't ask for a raise or think about calling off Or they'll try and make you thank them for your time on the clock Because we're born to cry and we get To grow up and become more depressed We're only worth as much as we can produce And they don't pay us enough to afford rope for the noose We're all just cogs in their machines As replaceable as any other human being You live, you learn You love, you learn You cry, you learn You lose, your job And now I'm here to remind you of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny them, the money you lost their company Oughta know, oughta know; oughta know they'll fucking steal your soul Oughta know, oughta know; every company is awful Oughta know, oughta know; you, you oughta know Oughta know, oughta know; you, you oughta know And if another person tells me to get a real job I'm gonna kick their ass then kill my boss and landlord
