Lyrics

Well, I got a new job, I'm a-doing fine
They say the money ain't bad from overtime
Well, I wanna get a car, not a house or wife
I don't wanna work here for the rest of my life
I work the night shift every night
Clock in when it's dark, clock out when it's light
But I only get a holiday twice a year
But it's a job, so baby, I don't care
I start the night shift at 10 PM
And it's six in the morning till I'm a-get out again
We're making lots of money now for the boss
And he's sitting on his ass as we run at a loss
I see him drive to work in a big fat car
And if I work like him, I'm a-gonna go far
Well, that's what he's telling me now all the time
Just feeding me shit to keep me in line
The bossman said, "Now, listen here, boys"
You and the union can make lots of noise
But now take my advice if you wanna survive
'Cause I still want you here when you're 65
Well, this is my factory, now don't get funny
Or you're out on your ear without any money
I got the night shift blues and it's bugging me
I don't like this job and I wanna break free
And so I walked out the door in front of the rest of the guys
I don't wanna work for this bloke who lives on lies
