Machines

Some people tell me

I should get a job in a factory

Earn my living, think about security

Don't know what that means

'Cause I'm very happy doing nothing

That's what suits me

My mind is active just as it should be

Don't want a work machine

'Cause it makes no difference if you work all day

When you buy a home it takes all your pay

Overtime will see you by

At least until it's time to die

I'm not trying to say that I'm so different from the rest

It's just that I am at my best when I'm idle

Other people labour on, it doesn't matter when they're gone

Their money goes on to their son and bride

I'm very happy doing nothing

That's what suits me

My mind is active just as it should be

Don't want a work machine

'Cause it makes no difference if you work all day

When you buy a home it takes all your pay

Overtime will see you by

At least until it's time to die
