Lyrics
A day on the line
One more shift
One more penny
One more test of my patience
The crowd surrounds me as if I’ve done something so niche
It had never been performed before
They all scramble round my feet like beggars
Replicating my every move
They cascade towards the manager
Giving him a real earful
Why’s he not earning more?
Why’s he not getting laid?
Just as crucial as me to the business
Honouring my manager’s wishes and
Bringing home the dole
Why do I breathe every time I check in?
What a waste of sanitised air for the customers
Someone please think of the customers
Oh, please
I need more tips for the bus home
Or I’ll be sleeping on the floor
Everybody says you should give me more tips
More, more, more, more
Even my manager looked on in vain
As I received just a customary 10%
It’s more than I could ever ask for but still not enough
Still, not enough
