LeisureThey taught me how to workBut they can't teach
me how to shirk correctlyWhoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ohAs you see,
science once again robs us of our jobsThey've put a
microchip in my placeI hide behind a screen of aggression
nowadaysIt's just a way of saving some faceSo now I'm
permanently drunkLike the rest of the race with leisureIf
you think I'm clowningI assure you that I'm drowning
here in leisureThey taught me how to workBut they can't
teach me how to shirk correctlyWhoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, ohI spend all day and all my
allowance on TV gamesAmusement heaven at the flick
of a switchInstead of a lathe,
I busy my fingers nowadaysBy scoring goals with the
gentlest twitchI've forgotten how to use my legsTo
invade the pitch of leisureIf you think I'm clowningI
assure you that I'm drowning here in leisureThey taught
me how to workBut they can't teach me how to shirk
correctlyWhoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, ohOh, oh, oh, oh,
oh, oh, ohThey had retired before I left school
(Just saw no point in the standing in line)So I spend
lots of time lounging at home
(Why not come in 'cause the carpet is fine)What a waste
of breath it isSearching for the jobs that don't existSo
now I'm permanently drunkLike the rest of the race
with leisureIf you think I'm clowningI assure you that
I'm drowning here in leisureThey taught me how to workBut
they can't teach me how to shirk correctlyWhoa,
