HEAD IN THE SAND Lyrics

Carriage of gloom of existential weight

Embody this grey Sunday

I hope we're all fucking late

And miss the Monday meetings

The five alarms

The shitty cereal bars

The morning coffee

The search for car keys

The suit and noose

The lonely commute

The forced smile

The-must-be-done-by-5-file

The belligerent boss

The colleague constantly cross

The three pound meal deal

The aching that your eyes feel

The signing of the time sheet

The creak of the seat

The sepulchral sound of the phone ring

The sluggish clock dreadfully ticking

The hours, seconds, minutes of our lives away

I hope we're all fucking late

If you don't know what you're working for

Head in the sand let's work some more

If you don't know what you're working for

Head in the sand let's work some more

Rain, snow or shine there is no forgiving

Just relentless business until your morals are spinning

And your weekend away flies by in the blink of an eye

And screech the Sunday train blue and as unwilling as the rest of us

Tied to a machine

And ridden till it's crushed to dust

9 am ain't so far away

The white washed walls with the macho displays

Who'll slit your neck with a fountain pen for a 500 quid raise

Dog eat dog suppressed and obsessed us short sighted

And fighting as the world burns

And the tide rises and people are dying

But how did Janet get a flat in those new high rises

Water cooler news

Backstabbing baboons

The-stay-late-with-no-extra-pay culture

The vultures and ravens to madness we're corporation sculptures

If you don't know what you're working for

Head in the sand let's work some more

If you don't know what you're working for

Head in the sand let's work some more

Shake my head and empty it

I want to be a kid again

I'll take it apart

Tear out this heart

My Soul like this train window

Glimpsing everything, gaining nothing

Brake in case of emergency

Or just brake for the sake of it

Bleed it dry for 9 pound 99 every day

9 til' 5 until till the day that I die

If you don't know what you're working for

Head in the sand let's work some more

If you don't know what you're working for

Head in the sand let's work some more
