I Wanna Go Home lyrics

What time is it?



It 6:47 AM when I look at the clock and cough

6:50, the alarm goes off

I stumble to the shower, brush my teeth

And get dressed as I try to find something to eat

I spot a cookie in the kitchen drawer

And at 7:34 I`m out the door

Sitting in traffic, no escape

I`m gonna be late, work starts at 8

I check my watch and it`s 8:03

Finally I arrive at the j-o-b

I get to my desk, what`s this mess?

New projects? I`m already stressed

I sit stunned till 8:15

By 8:31 I`m ready to scream

22 messages on my phone

I just got here and I wanna go home



I wanna go home



9:30, my stomach is startin to ache

But I have to wait a half hour for my break

Bless, somebody just called in sick

Coughin and wheezin, yup, the whole shtick

More work for me, it`s 10:42

Someone says, "The boss wants to see you"

At 10:47 I`m gettin yelled at

I was gonna yell back but my voice fell flat

I`m still ( ? ) at 11:39

And that`s when I`m told they cut my lunch time

Mandatory meeting and all I can do is groan

I wanna go home



I wanna go home



(You got to have a job

your feet on the table)

(You got to have a job

to keep the family able)



(How long until I can go home?)



The afternoon`s draggin, it`s 2:02

When I`m laggin, avoidin what I`m s`posed to do

A co-worker gets on my case

Tellin me I need to smile, I hate this place

At 3 o`clock I walk outside

Standin by the backdoor try to hide

Gotta make it till five, then I escape

3:30, they ask me to stay late

First I say, "Sure," then I say, "Wait"

I can`t, I`ve got an appointment to make

Then, at 4:10 they ask again

The manager`s actin like he`s my friend

Hmm, let me think about it - no

I`m ready to go, see you tomorrow

It`s 5 o`clock on the dot so you gotta leave me alone

It`s time to go home
