"I'm working my job while I write this songThe pay ain't good and the day is longThey're takin' away my life and it just ain't rightI gotta be strong and bite my tongueI wanna soar 'em the bird and say 'So long ...I'm gone ... and fuck your job'
But if I won the lotteryI'll tell you what I'd doI'd tell my boss to go to hellThen drive straight home to you
I wasn't made to work this hardBut I guess for me it's just in the cardsI'm a pawn in a losing game
My boss he's a regular S.O.B.He's trying to take my soul from meHe's an asshole, drives me insane
But if I won the lotteryI know just what I'd doI'd buy this place and fire my bossThen drive straight home to you.
This place has gotten under my skinI hate the smell when I walk inIt's a dump! It's a real shit hole
It's run by a bunch of idiotsWho make up the rules and don't know shitIt's a joke ... and it's on me
But if I won the lotteryI know just what I'd doI'd buy this place and burn it downAnd drive straight home to you."

I got a job making money for the man throwing chicken in the bucket with the soda pop can puke green uniform on my back I had to set it on fire in a vat of chicken fat
I leaped on the counter like a bird with no hair running through the mini mall in my underwear I got lost downtown couldn't find a ride home sun went down I got frozen to the bone
'til a hooker let me share her fake fur coat as I took a little nap the cops picked up us both I tried to explain I was only trying to get warm I knew I never ever should have burnt my uniform
He said too bad. You want to bite the bullet hard son? I didn't have no teeth so I stole his gun and I crawled out the window with my shadow on a spoon dancing on the roof, shooting holes in the moon
get busy, get busy, you know it I ain't going to work for no soul-sucking jerk I'm gonna take it all back and I ain't saying jack

at what i suppose would be the start of part 2, the lyrics go: "So sell your suit and tie and come and live with me"
. . . other lyrics include "If you don't believe me, well, sell your soul"

You celebrate by making a mixtape? No, YOU DO NOT. You celebrate by ordering a brilliant pizza, picking up some fantastic wine and having a laugh with your friends. And if you're not doing this right now I will chain you to the Levellers' caravan and make you listen to them AGAIN AND AGAIN. Once all that is done, then you make said tape. So 20th century, though; it's all CDRs and mp3 folders these days. Try starting with Ween's "Pumpin' 4 the Man." ;-)
