Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won't seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me!
They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
But you got dreams he'll never take away
You're in the same boat with a lotta your friends
Waitin' for the day your ship'll come in
An' the tide's gonna turn and it's all gonna roll your way
Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you
There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin' money in his wallet
9 to 5, whoa what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, yeah they got you where they want you
There's a better life, and you dream about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game no matter what they call it
And you spend your life puttin' money in his wallet

Round the gate
Mouse out your mouth
You, you feed the cat
Sound stops your brain
and it’s round again
Five star rating
But it doesn't count
Oh there's your train
It's like a melody
That you don't like
Excuse me!
Oooooooooooooooooo
Peak periods
Ache in your back
The, the silverfish
Dusty within
and you scuttle round
Murmurs your twin
And she says to go
But there's no room in
A touch of home
Play on your own
Excuse me!
Ooooooooooooooooooo
Insure and go
A paper hat
You, you say you don’t
Sucks the life out
The friendly energy
Wind changes today
It’s like a battery
Fifty pence off
So you pay the price
You check the scene
Excuse me!
Ooooooooooooooooooo

Don’t look at it

I’m not sorry
I just want to radicalise your babies
ASPIRATION
I don’t think you’re doing a very good job
I can’t stand it any longer
Realise your potential by realising theirs
You can love your work
Keeping me awake at night
I’m gonna steal your babies
Really it’s for their own good
Who needs ballet lessons when they've got
Oh! Did you?
Here are the exam questions...
Radicalise
Your Children
You should
Radicalise
Your Children
You should
What salary bracket are you?
Read the telegraph - stave off boredom
Nice work if you can get it
And you can get it if you try
How’s your baby doing?
Do they know all the options available to them?
Do they know what’s possible in reality?
Like not much
But yeah
You know
Radicalise
Your Children
You should
Radicalise
Your Children
You should

I’ve been thinking bout my body and
If it, thinks of me
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
Becoming an object to be seen
oh/
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
If this, fatigue is a strike
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
The bits, the bits and what’s not a-like
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
The should be compulsion
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
It as a mercy organ
oh/
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
The lack, the lack of care I'm taking
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
What statements it is and isn't making
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
What it carries and contains
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
Rights, claims, desires and aims
oh/
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
Thinking, about home
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
Thinking about it alone
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
If this body is better, let it be
I’ve been thinking bout my body and
Wondering if it thinks of me?
oh/

molejoy London, UK
Piss thunder drums - like when you’re being bullied at school and they’re pushing you to the ground, you can't get up and
you miss your bus. We were surprised too. Guitar like a janky synth. Sparse with no room in it. Melodic bass, like soft bones climbing a rope. Everything fighting to get to the front. Sassy, sarky, sincere; because no-one else cares.
“It's different, it's unusual.”
