Days of Futile Tasks
written by Serene Dominic, 2014
lyrics
Sunday night I'm remembering
The death in my eyes that Monday morning brings
I'd stay home if I could
But that won't do no good
Or keep you in the style you're accustomed to
Days of futile tasks
Do whatever the bosses ask
Days of futile tasks
Till I come home to you
Once upon a time we manufactured things
Now we just make time, time for more suffering
I just happened to pass by
Heard a secretary cry
Seems like no one remembered "Secretary Week"
Days of futile tasks
Do whatever the bosses ask
Days of futile tasks
Till I come home to you
And when I'm laying down beside you
I'm still thinking about the job
And when I dream, I dream that I'm on a train
That's taking me back to the job
I need me an energy drink
Maybe a miracle pill
To get me over the hump
But not over the hill
Well it's somebody's birthday
They're passing around cake
It's always someone's birthday
I could scream
Days of futile tasks
Do whatever the bosses ask
Days of futile tasks
Till I come home to you
