Traded in my tennis shoes
|
For steel-toed rubber boots
|
I got my own uniform to wear
|
They've given me a plastic hat
|
Earplugs and a funny net for my head
|
I'm well-prepared
|
|
Time comes when you have to choose
|
Occupation you can use
|
Well they say it should be something you like
|
But hard times just don't allow
|
Poor boy to be choosy how he provides
|
How you get by
|
|
Watch out now here they come
|
My god what have I done?
|
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down
|
One day we're gonna make them change
|
We gonna turn this mess around
|
|
Underneath fluorescent light
|
Night is day and day is night
|
Oh we're waiting on a break to come
|
For some coffee with a honey bun
|
And small talk about the things we wished we'd done
|
When we were young
|
|
Time's up boy
|
|
Watch out now here they come
|
My god what have I done?
|
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down
|
One day we're gonna make them change
|
We gonna turn this mess around
|
|
Down the line, down the line
|
We're sending it down the line, down the line
|
We're putting in overtime, overtime
|
We're gonna stay late
|
|
Watch out now here they come
|
My god what have I done?
|
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down
|
One day we're gonna make them change
|
We gonna turn this mess around
|
