If it's not my joints (it's my patience)
If it's not my head (it's my heart)
Callused hands (tired fingers)
Sleep deprived (it's an art)
If it's not my back (it's my head)
If it's not my head (it's my heart)
Short staffed (overworked)
Sleep deprived (it's an art)
Tedious chat (eek, a rat)
Completely daft (on the clock)
Double shift (double whammy)
Shift fatigue (time to stock)
No, don't look (I'm not looking)
Overtime (bus stop booking)
On your knees (on the clock)
Much to prove, more to rot

(To what ends) I'll save up any day now (sure you will)
(My back will bend) I'll save up any day now (one more time)
(Sacrificing hope) I'll save up any day now (eighty six hope)
(It never ends) I'll save up any day now
(One more time)

Dirty money (dirty boss)
End is nigh (UTI)
Pissed and drained (much disdain)
How to measure (what you've lost)
Time is ticking (rich stay sittin')
Tedious chat (eek, a rat)
Call it in (off the clock)
Much to prove, more to rot

God, I need a cigarette (been down so long)
But knowing it's against the law (woo, woo, woo, woo)
God, I need a cigarette (been down so long)
Big boss called it your loss (woo, woo, woo, woo)

(To what ends) I'll save up any day now (sure you will)
(My back will bend) I'll save up any day now (one more time)
(Sacrificing hope) I'll save up any day now (eighty six hope)
(It never ends) I'll save up any day now
(One more time)

And it's foul
Ever so foul

If it's not my joints (it's my patience)
If it's not my head (it's my heart)
Callused hands (tired fingers)
Sleep deprived (It's an art)
If it's not my back (it's my head)
If it's not my head (it's my heart)
Short staffed (overworked)
Sleep deprived (it's an art)

God, I need a cigarette (spinnin' like a car cassette)
Knowing it's against the law (woo, woo, woo, woo)
God, I need a cigarette (spinnin' like a car cassette)
How do you even measure time you've lost?

(To what ends) I'll save up any day now (sure you will)
(My back will bend) I'll save up any day now (one more time)
(Sacrificing hope) I'll save up any day now (eighty six hope)
(It never ends) I'll save up any day now
(One more time)

(And it's foul)
(Ever so foul)
(And it's foul)
(Absolutely foul)

How do you measure the time you've lost?
