Wakey,
wakey, rise and shine
Dropped out of college,
now it's grafting time
Get up and get straight online
Put your CV off and hand
it out quick time
Have you got any vacancies?
Cos me old man's on me case
Nah, mate, nothing lately
I'll tell you the L's though,
just in case
Took an interview in retail
Cos it was all that I could find
To the job, want a sport,
even though it would drive
me out my mind
Signed up for weekly pay, no holiday
Hourly rate of only 5 .25
Zer o hour contract,
employed by actual factory
Sitting and demoralised
Minimum wage for maximum
work flow
Minimum chance everywhere's
maxed out
They don't want to know
I'll be a no -show,
at your disciplinary hearing
I'll be a no -show,
at your performance meeting
I'll be a no -show,
no overtime volunteering
I'll be a no -show,
I will be nowhere to be seen
La -la -la -la
La -la -la -la
La -la -la -la
Manager got my zero hour,
so he's under budget an
d he hits his bonus
Found out he's a part -time bouncer
every other evening,
fifteen quid an hour
Come on mate, give me a break,
I'm skinny, I've got bills to pay
And I would if I could buy a card,
so I won't be seeing a
price of steroids today
I'll cat the supervisor, give him a quid,
good thinking, I'm inferior
Odd job to bog job's worth,
ain't nothing bout you that is superior
Watch your neck
and before you hit the deck
and I'll spell it out quite clearly for ya
P -I -S -S -O -S -F
shove your job upon a knowledge test
Minimal wage to
maximum work flow
Min imal chance everywhere's
maxed out
They don't wanna know
I'll be a no -show
At your disciplinary hearing
I'll be a no -show
At your performance meeting,
I'll be a no -show
No overtime volunteering,
I'll be a no -show
I will be nowhere to be seen
La -la -la -la
La -la -la -la
La -la -la -la
This government and
the corporations
that are nicking your jobs
It's a profit margin,
the corner cutting
that is ricking you off
It's at the end of greed,
while you're in need,
their bonus doubles on top
It's all I'm more at jack,
you scratch my back,
then I'll stab you in yours
I'll be your no -show
A disciplinary hearing,
I'll be your no -show
And your performance beating,
I'll be a no -show
No overtime for the cheering,
I'll be a no -show
Now we'll be nowhere to be seen
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la la
you
