lyrics

So what d'you want to be?
Got the ability
Anything you want
Nothing appeals to you
Just need something new
Time to pay your way

You can't take no more
You've made up your mind
You're heading for the door

A headstart in a dead end job
60 hours with one day off
Promotion promised - never arrives
On the treadmill, rest of your life
Early morning, rise and shine
Home at 5, clock in at 9
You got your pension, your company car
All you lack's ambition

You're happy with your lot

Yeah, you've got no skills
You gotta pay the bills
Start to feel the weight

And as the years go by
You stockpile regret
Could have so much more

A headstart in a dead end job
60 hours with one day off
Promotion promised - never arrives
On the treadmill, rest of your life
Early morning, rise and shine
Home at 5, clock in at 9
You got your pension, your company car
All you lack's ambition

Got to face the facts
You've become stale and numb
As you were told

A headstart in a dead end job
Two days in lieu and four weeks off
Promotion promised - never arrives

A headstart in a deadend job
60 hours with one day off
Got a discount for your family and friends
Cos you're employee of the month

Early morning, rise and shine
Home at 5, clock in at 9
You got your pension, your company car
Ohhhhhhh, oh yeah

A headstart in a deadend job
A headstart in a deadend job
A headstart in a deadend job
No real expectations
All you lack's ambition
Endless repetition
Stand by your decision now
