The Monkey Versus the Robot Songtext

von Piebald

I know a guy who lives just for the weekends.
He says he's tired a lot.
He says there should be five days of weekend
Instead of five days of work.

And I remind him we get old and retire.
Too old to do anything but golf.
When you're young you're in school or in the workforce.
Let's make old people work. That's a joke.

We got a job to do and this is it. [x4]

I know a girl who works in an office.
She says she has no time for herself.
She says other than that everything is fine, everything is fine.
I remind her everything's not quite fine.
Maybe it's OK or even worse.
Work should not control our every minute.
Eat to work. Sleep to work. Live to work. Work.

We have the best job ever. Yeah we really got lucky.
We're nobody's robot. We're nobody's monkey.
We have the best job ever. Yeah we really got lucky.
We're nobody's robot. We're nobody's monkey.

We got a job to do and this is it. [x4]
Yeah, this is it.
Oh, this is it.
Oh, this is it.

We have the best job ever. Yeah we really got lucky.
We're nobody's robot. We're nobody's monkey.
We have the best job ever. Yeah we really got lucky.
We're nobody's robot. We're nobody's monkey.
