I was tuckin' in my shirt on the way to work
D A E
When a bum came up to me
I was way behind and when he asked me for a dime
D A E
I pushed him away from me
F C G
I said, "Look at yourself your life is so much hell
F G
When's the last time you took a shower?"
F C G
He said, "All in good time because that time is mine
F G …E
Your time won't be yours in an hour…"
I made it to work and looked at the jerk
Who tells me what to do
He gave me a pile of 92 files
He said, "Finish these before you're through."
I thought, "What would he say if I threw 'em away
And walked right out the door
What would go down if I pranced around
With my pants around the floor…"
I woke up in bed with my sheets soakin' wet
'cause the bum had come back to me
I was sittin' at my desk; lookin' to the west
And he was standin' right in front of me
He said, "Better get to work and make some cash for that jerk
He's gotta pay for his house by the sea
I'm hitchin' my way to those shores today
To take a nap under a shady tree…"
I made it to work I didn't tuck in my shirt
And the boss came up to me
He said, "Where is my pile of 92 files
They ain't where they're supposed to be?"
Well I had it all done but it was time for some fun
So I threw 'em all in the air
First he got pissed; and then I got dissed
With his foot in my derriere…
(Jam)
So now I ain't got a dime, but my time is all mine
And I'm sleepin' under that tree
My jerk of a boss is at a hell of a loss
'Cause his house fell into the sea
I'm not about to say you gotta throw it all away
You don't have to come live like me
But give it a shot before your life is all bought
You gotta pay a pretty price to be free…
D..A..E
