Leisure

They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly

Whoah

As you see, science once again robs us of our jobs

They've put a microchip in my place

I hide behind a screen of aggression nowadays

It's just a way of saving some face

So now I'm permanently drunk like the rest of the race with

Leisure

If you think I'm clowning, I assure you that I'm drowning here in

Leisure

They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly

Whoah

I spend all day and all my allowance on T.V. games

Amusement Heaven at the flick of a switch

Instead of a lathe, I busy my fingers nowadays

By scoring goals with the gentlest twitch

I've forgotten how to use my legs to invade the pitch

Leisure

If you think I'm clowning, I assure you that I'm drowning here in

Leisure

They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly

Whoah

They had retired me 'fore I left school

(Just saw no point in the standing in line)

So I spend lots of time lounging at home

(Why not come in 'cause the carpet is fine?)

What a waste of breath it is

Searching for the jobs that don't exist

So now I'm permanently drunk like the rest of the race with

Leisure

If you think I'm clowning, I assure you that I'm drowning here in

Lei

They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly

Whoah

Whoah

How'd you ever expect to find your day's work?
