Chaos Theory

Dead Milkmen
(album: Stoney´s Extra Stout (Pig))

I am the king of the new white underclass
I am the prince of the lazy and poor
I am the one who sleeps the latest
I am the one who won´t do my chores
I am the god of unemployment
The Antichrist of the American dream
I used to fight for church and country
But now I don´t fit into the corporate scheme

I used to get up and go to work
But I don´t play that game no more
I won´t work for no corporation
I won´t owe my soul to no company store

Study hard and you´ll have a future
Oh yeah, when the hell was that ever true?
Study hard and you´ll still go nowhere
Study hard and you´ll still get screwed

I used to get up and go to work
But now I just wanna stay in bed
Maybe I´ll join the Communist Party
Yeah maybe I´ll become a goddamn red

Workers of the world, unite and do nothing
Workers of the world, unite and relax
Don´t get your boss that cup of coffee
Don´t write that memo don´t send that fax
You shouldn´t even pay your income tax
Workers of the world, unite and be lazy
Workers of the world, listen to me

Another 8 hours at the factory
Another 8 hours and what have you learned
Be obedient and do what they tell you
Be obedient and still get burned
Another 8 hours at the factory

Work all day for a tiny little check
Work all day for no respect

I used to get up and do my job
But now I enjoy doin´ nothin´ better
I think I´ll go bum around
I think I´ll enjoy this lovely weather

Maybe someday there´ll be a revolution
Maybe someday we´ll have meaningful jobs
But until that day I´m gonna be lazy
I´m not gonna be no workin´ slob

I used to get up and go to work
But I don´t play that game no more
I´m not gonna work for no corporation
I´m not gonna owe my soul to no company store

I used to get up and go to work
But now I just wanna stay in bed
Maybe I´ll join the Communist Party
Yeah maybe I´ll become a goddamn red
