Lyric of the Week: MY LAST DAY

The day

Is gray

I don’t have what to say

I wish I didn’t have to get up

But I got my bills to pay.

Away

I have to get away

I can’t plug at this anymore

Can’t let this feeling stay.

All day

8-plus hours a day

Doing what for whose benefit

There must be another way.

Hey hey

I finally see the ray

Of sunshine breaking through the gloom

I’ve made it to my last day.

This is one of my "discontented with work" songs from the early 2000s, when I was working at a job I didn't like in a claustrophobic office I couldn't stand. I couldn't wait for the day I'd give my notice, and I did ... which opened the door to all sorts of unintended and unwanted circumstances. (But at least I didn't have to go back to that office anymore.) No music; never recorded or performed.
