lyrics
In a suit at a desk in a daze at the end of an hour and a half and another twenty minutes of the screen orange screen on the screen watch it flicker spelling words fancy words what is fancy what are words where am I?
I am out of order
Sorry for the inconvenience
Be back soon
Thank God you're too cheap to replace me
I get up and it's dark I get home and it's even darker night is to morning is to morning is tonight I go to bed there's a buzzing by the bed and it gets me out of bed and it's dark and it's dark when I get home where am I?
I am out of order
Sorry for the inconvenience
Be back soon
Thank God you're too cheap to replace me
Once I had friends once I had fun once I had life once I had hope once I had hands once I had love once I had mind once I had time once I had me
Now I have a job.
I am out of order
Sorry for the inconvenience
Be back soon
Thank God you're too cheap to replace me
I get up and it's dark I get home and it's even darker night is to morning is to morning is tonight I go to bed there's a buzzing by the bed and it gets me out of bed and it's dark and it's dark when I get home where am I?
I am out of order
Sorry for the inconvenience
Be back soon
Thank God you're too cheap to replace me
Once I had friends once I had fun once I had life once I had hope once I had hands once I had love once I had mind once I had time once I had me
Now I have a job.
