(Verse 1) Alarm clock screams at 6 a.m., another day I dread Coffee tastes like yesterday's news, fill me up instead My car's got a mind of its own, takes the long way 'round Anything to delay the moment I'm on this hallowed ground (Chorus) 'Cause I'm punching in, but my soul is gone Just another cog in a machine that's way too long The clock on the wall ticks slower than a snail's pace Yeah, I hate this job, this miserable place (Verse 2) My cubicle's a cardboard box, with a window to a wall The boss talks in corporate buzzwords, I just want to ball Got a spreadsheet full of numbers, they're all just a blur Trying to look like I'm busy, while my mind starts to stir (Chorus) 'Cause I'm punching in, but my soul is gone Just another cog in a machine that's way too long The clock on the wall ticks slower than a snail's pace Yeah, I hate this job, this miserable place (Verse 3) The printer's always out of ink, the copier's on the fritz The breakroom coffee's lukewarm, and the Wi-Fi always quits My co-worker, he just talks and talks about his perfect life I just nod and smile, but inside, I'm cutting with a knife (Chorus) 'Cause I'm punching in, but my soul is gone Just another cog in a machine that's way too long The clock on the wall ticks slower than a snail's pace Yeah, I hate this job, this miserable place (Bridge) Dreaming of a sunny beach, a guitar in my hand Building sandcastles with my friends across the land But the fluorescent lights hum on, a soundtrack to my pain Just another Friday that feels like a Tuesday in the rain (Guitar Solo) (Outro) Yeah, I hate this job... And I'm counting down the days... Till Friday comes... And I can finally walk away... Yeah, I can finally walk away...
