Lyrics
Welcome back to Monday
Can't relate, gotta skate
Wait it out til Sunday
Once a week gotta sleep
Don't remember how to work
12 to 8 always late
Know I can't survive
on 9 to5 in the hive
CHORUS:
I'm a drone
and I can't go home
When you're full
I'm expendable
Marking time
on the assembly line
Like machinery
for the economy
Every morning catch a buzz
Getting high Getting by
Working for the man
though secretly I still defy
Every night I hide
from the thought cops, never stop
Trying to change my mind
but it seems like they get inside it
CHORUS
Spend a lifetime and pretend it's not you
Give your best years and forget what was true
Pay you nothing in the meantime still you think your will is free
And they kill you when they please
CHORUS
Welcome back to your life
Peaceful war nothing more
Sitting on a landmine
Piece of eight worth the wait
Watch them put the gun to a million heads like you said
Though you could come back as a hero
but they screwed you bad
CHORUS
