Lyrics

Shine your shoes
Iron your shirt
Work late, get paid
Time to prove your worth
Get a call that we're meeting in the pub up the road
You fumble down the street, to meet someone you know
You swing by the one where your uncle still goes
Let him buy us a drink, then you powder your nose
You slip through the yard past the grey pound bars
See a light up ahead, but you need to stall
You're always running late but never miss the start
You bum a tab off a lad and the interview starts, she says
It's 5 o'clock and I wanna to go out
No time to waste with your messing about
Get yer shift swapped 'cause we're ready for war
You better to keep up if you wanna go far
Why does everybody want to fight with me?
Why does everybody want to fight with me?
Why does everybody want to fight with me?
Why does everybody want to fight with me?
Now you're off the clock but you've gotta go out
No overtime and no bonus about
But you're insistent that it's good for you
It's good for business it's how you push things through
Get summoned to a meeting in the pub up the road
You fumble down the street, you're passing people you know
You're missing out all the ones where your pals still go
Can't skip a works drinks 'cause the boss will know
And if you don't show, you'll be punished in the morning
Or you might miss out on hearing something really quite important
You've been recruited, a big promotion round the corner
Lost yourself for a second then the interview started, she said
It's 5 o'clock and I wanna to go out
No money, no plans, nobody about
I've had my second wind and I'm ready for it
But everyone is staying in, not enough notice
Why does everybody want to fight with me?
Why does everybody want to fight with me?
Why does everybody want to fight with me?
Why does everybody want to fight with me?
Why does everybody want to fight with me?
Why does everybody want to fight with me?
Why does everybody want to fight with me?
Why does everybody want to fight with me?
It's Friday night and I don't want to go out
No money, no friends, nobody about
I've had a tough week and I wanna to stay in
Everyone is going out, but I'm not invited
Shine your shoes
Iron your shirt
Work late, get paid
Time to do your worst
Now you're off the clock but you've gotta go out
No overtime and no bonus about
But you're insistent that it's good for you
It's good for business it's how you push things through
It's 5 o'clock, I don't wanna to go out
No time to waste with your messing about
You got your shift swapped 'cause we're ready for war
You better to keep up, if you wanna go far
[Instrumental]
Why does everybody want to fuck with me?
Why does everybody want to fuck with me?
Why does everybody want to fuck with me?
Why does everybody want to fuck with me?
Ugh
