Leisure

(albüm: English Settlement - 1982)

Leisure

They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly
Whoah

As you see, science once again robs us of our jobs
They've put a microchip in my place
I hide behind a screen of aggression nowadays
It's just a way of saving some face
So now I'm permanently drunk like the rest of the race with
Leisure
If you think I'm clowning, I assure you that I'm drowning here in
Leisure
They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly
Whoah

I spend all day and all my allowance on T.V. games
Amusement Heaven at the flick of a switch
Instead of a lathe, I busy my fingers nowadays
By scoring goals with the gentlest twitch
I've forgotten how to use my legs to invade the pitch
Leisure
If you think I'm clowning, I assure you that I'm drowning here in
Leisure
They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly
Whoah

They had retired me 'fore I left school
(Just saw no point in the standing in line)
So I spend lots of time lounging at home
(Why not come in 'cause the carpet is fine?)
What a waste of breath it is
Searching for the jobs that don't exist

So now I'm permanently drunk like the rest of the race with
Leisure
If you think I'm clowning, I assure you that I'm drowning here in
Lei
They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly
Whoah
Whoah
La-la-la-leisure

Lazybones, looking through the Sun
How'd you ever expect to find your day's work?
