WAGE SLAVE(original song)

Original Song,(1)You get up in the morning put on a brand new shirt, the time is half past seven and you're heading off for work.Sixteen hours later you'll be coming home, don' forget to pick up your latest IPod phone.(2)You're looking at your watch the time is going slow,only another twelve, boring hours to go.You're dreaming of your holidays when you can be free, somewhere real exotic,like the maldives.
(chorus)You're a wage slave, a man who can't save.You want everything today,you've gotta spend all your pay.
You're a wage slave,just awage slave.
(3)You've got a five bedroom house, all of them ensuite,two cars in the garage and a plasma T.V.
You deserve all these things ' cos you work so hard.You don't care how much they cost, just put it on the card.
(4)You're reading your bank statement, reallity hits home,wondering how the hell you'll get another loan.
You've already mortgaged the house a couple of times,you're thinking to yourself that nothings really mine.
(chorus)
(5)Wishing you could buy back the days that you've lost,what have you been working for, what has been the cost?
You thought you were important a real successful guy, now you're reallising you've let your life slip by.
(6)The bailiffs coming round,taking all your things,all your furniture and your wifes diamond rings.You're feeling really low,feeling like a louse,they're coming back tomorrow to repossess your house.(chorus)
(7)You're sitting in your car with your bottle of gin,the windows are sealed and the hosepipes leading in.
You're starting up the engine,you can hear it run,you slump back in your seat,you know your time has come.
(chorus) Now you,ve got a nice grave.

Excellent song for so many reasons! We really are a consumer society now and it's all about earning enough to have things.. I wish it wasn't that way often. I love the grave lyric at the end especially; really spot on. Let's pray not too many people end the story like that though! 5 stars my good man. Dan =:D

Much appreciated,hope to hear some more from you soon,cheers.

This is great! Very rough and dirty vocals and lyrics that really hit home.

And the sunglasses are perfect- very cool.
