You'd think we jumped out of the ooze
Already wearing our wristwatches
The moon controls the time of the tide
You know it's never stopping
From womb to work
And work to sleep
From time to time
And week to week
Let's use our welfare checks to
Play the lottery
Use the winnings for our new
Frontal Lobotomies
We all catch ourselves in the act
Of gasping up for air
Our inhibitions fall like bricks
Down the tall and narrow stairs
From womb to work
And work to sleep
From time to time
And week to week
Yeah!
Let's use our welfare checks to
Play the lottery
Use the winnings for our new
Frontal lobotomies
Try to forget the trouble of the
Working people's blues
Get too drunk and watch the evening news
If you wake up in the morning
And you don't like the person you are
Don't like the person you are
Well that's alright baby
You can just change
On your nights or your weekends or you next cigarette break
Oh yeah?
Well you know what we're gonna do
You know what we're all gonna do?
Let's use our welfare checks to
Play the lottery
Use the winnings for our new
Frontal lobotomies
Try to forget the trouble of the
Working people's blues
Get too drunk and watch the evening news
