lyrics
You get up in the morning and you shave your face
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
Dress up prim and proper to a particular place
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
Must've been saying something
Before I stopped saying it before
Whatever it was that something
I won't be saying it no more
The downside's up if you stare straight ahead
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
"What would a self respecting person do?" is what She said
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
I work so hard to expect nothing
It's the kind of life I can live with
The only thing the sun can do
Is cook my dreams into a puddle of cosmic myth
Money don't matter if there's contentment to scatter
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
You exercise daily but you keep getting fatter
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
I don't mean the physical weight
I'm talking about the glutton hamster-wheel'd rat race
A good soldier knows their place
But the best of all can save their face
A working class hero is not something to be
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
Leave yourself more to give what is free
Yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah
No no yeah, Yeah no no
Yeah no yeah no yeahhhh
No no no no no no no
Please noooo
Yeah, yeah, yeah
