Awoken from my slumber by a noise I know too well
The dying cry of another night like a banshee out of hell
I pry open my eyelids like rusted shutter doors
It's a beautiful day, but the only thing I think of anymore
Is that...
I hate my job, I hate my job
It's a struggle to get out of bed, 'cause I hate my job
I hate my job, I hate my job
The customer is always wrong and I hate my job (go!)
Well nine to five and five to nine
Yeah I have seen it all
I've worked weekdays, weekends, birthdays and holidays on call
Well I had no intentions of ever growing old
But Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday save my soul
But I'm growing older, and I'm going nowhere
Well I work to live and I live to work and I really hate my job
I hate my job, I hate my job
It's a struggle to get out of bed, 'cause I hate my job
I hate my job, I hate my job
The customer is always wrong and I hate my job
Well, I sit and stare all day at a blank computer screen
Hoping it reveals the purpose and what it means to me
But through the flood of e-mails, meetings and reports
There's no purpose just the paycheck from my time that they extort
But I'm growing older, and I'm going nowhere
Well I work to live and I live to work and I really hate my job
I hate my job, I hate my job
It's a struggle to get out of bed, 'cause I hate my job
I hate my job, I hate my job
The customer is always wrong and I hate my job
Well when I was a young boy I had dreams as big as stars
Like digging up the dinosaurs and playing my guitar
Time snuck in and stole all of my innocence away
Now I was getting younger instead of older everyday
But I'm growing older, and I'm going nowhere
Well I work to live and I live to work and I really hate my job
I hate my job, I hate my job
It's a struggle to get out of bed, 'cause I hate my job
I hate my job, I hate my job
The customer is always wrong and I hate my job
I hate my job, I hate my job
It's a struggle to get out of bed, 'cause I hate my job
I hate my job, I hate my job
The customer is always wrong and I hate my job
And it makes me wanna kill myself
And I hate my job
One more time with feeling
I hate my job!
