On the grind non-stop, both hands on the clock twenty-four seven cause this life is a job My singular pennies aren't worth gold to fools cause he who has the gold in this world makes the rules Taxes and mortgage they already seek the 80 in my name goes to hours every week Two jobs, one life - one day, one night my cubicle prison hides me from the sunlight Lost on a cycle, I barely sleep phases I see no promotion, just CEO raises My regimen changes as temperament rages if only my bills had presidents' faces Stupid solutions, executives got em cause adding more managers must solve the problem Staring at these monitors, eyes goin' blind plus carpal tunnel from codin' overtime All work and no pay makes a dull boy All work and no pay makes a dull boy All work and no pay makes a dull boy ^- All work and no pay makes me a poor boy All work and no pay makes a dull boy ^- All work and no pay makes me a poor boy All work and no pay makes a dull boy ^- All work and no pay makes me a poor boy All work and no pay makes a dull boy ^- All work and no pay makes me a poor boy All work and no pay makes me a poor boy ^- All work and no pay makes a dull boy All work and no pay makes me a poor boy ^- All work and no pay makes a dull boy Back to the grind, gotta start it up fast can't tell this week apart from the last Sit through meetings, leave without speakin' stay late on Fridays come in the whole weekend Idiots, failures, customers, clients chairmen, executives, VPs, tyrants Names all the same, there's no denyin' it learn the terminology, know your environment Tired of treadmill pace in the rat race searchin' the maze for the cheese givin' chase Really quite different, feelin' out of place watching the bosses stuffin' their fat face Overworked, underpaid, see my frustration so much to do can't even use my vacation Technical lead on a one person team but this doesn't seem like the American dream
