Well, it's coffee for the weekdays
And alcohol for the ends
Self-prescribed to exorcise
Those demons in my head
While preachin' from a pulpit
To a congregation lost
Give nothin' less but your whole soul
And forget the cost
But I'm a fully paid up member
Of the underpaid and lost
I spend sixty-seven hours this week
Just shackled to my job
If I was given half the chance again
I'd rather not sell my soul
But I need something in my pockets to accompany the holes

Another cog
In a machine
Greased with alcohol, Diazepam, marijuana and caffeine!
So the question's always itching
Should I be doing more?
I'm holding onto principles I simply can't afford
And I'm turning out my pockets for two-pounds-seventy
But I'm stuck out in the pouring rain
'Coz I can't afford the fee
And so the question's always itching
Should I be doing more?
I'm sick of shouting slogans with no kick through the door screaming
Neither God nor master with no sense of irony
As I drag my arse back into work for the endless drudgery
And it's a
