The Lyrics

I've been working all night
And now it was light
And working most of the day
My bodys weak
But this time next week
I'll be getting paid
This job is so hard
But no self regards
To my own health and state
But I'll have regrets
When I open my cheque
And my boss laughs right in my face

Cause I get paid these low wages
My concious blows out in tamptrum rages
I feel screwed,
Well wouldn't you?
My shifts are long and I'm feeling drowsey
Cause I know my rewards are oh so lousy
As I get paid, such low wages

Well, I wish I could leave
But I gotta grieve
Because of my past disgrace
And I know I was wrong
When I got up and swung
And punch my boss in the face
He's blackmailing me
As you may see
So I guess its all my fault
Cause now I can't go
As I should well know
He'll hold me down for assult

So I get paid these low wages
Thinking of a way that, I can save me
I'm oh so tired
But I can't get fired
My boss stands by, with his dirty smirking
Cause he knows I got to continue working
And still get paid, such low wages
Now I get paid these low wages
Whilst Im scanning through my yellow pages
For my desire
Of a decent liar
I'll take him down, and charge him strongly
Try and prove that I've been treated wrongly
When I got paid, such low wages

Well, you know what they say: If you want to live like the Republicans, vote for the Democrats.

I think it's a good Microsoft slogan: "Who do you want to punch today?"

I thought the saying was: "If you want to live like a king, work like a dog, unless you go into politics and then you can be an @ss."
