At My Job

Dead Kennedys

If your machine might slip a gear
Push this button to help it clear
Your time card says your name's Joe
But we'll call you 6-3-0

[Chorus]
I'm working at my job
I'm so happy
More boring by the day
But they pay me
All that time spent going to school
Just to end up following-rules

[Chorus]

Now it's time to take a break
Don't stray too far or you'll be late
Thank you for your service and a long career
Glad you gave us your best years

[Chorus]

    I agree with MountainJew, the music does sound Industrial. It reminds me of the Revolting Cocks' cover of Rod Stewart's "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy."
