about

He wrote this song a few years back while working in a monotonous, unfulfilling, otherwise soul-sucking job... Lets just say he was a little bitter at the time.

lyrics

Alarm goes off, time to punch that clock
Back to the grind, it's like death by small talk

The hours drag and the pay is shit
On days like today I'm such a hypocrite

I'm a man, I work my finger to the bone
Paying off my plastic while I'm looking for a loan
60 hour week with a ringin' in my ear
And it's worth it just to know i'll get a plaque in 20 years
I'm a man

Break time, eat my sandwich from a can
And the motion of my jaws sedates me like a friend

Middle class, how do I complain?
Well I'm rich enough for debt but far too poor to pay it

I'm a man, I work my finger to the bone
Paying off my plastic while I'm looking for a loan
60 hour week with a ringin' in my ear
And it's worth it just to know i'll get a plaque in 20 years

I'm a man (repeats)
