Lets Work

[Mike_S]

Hi guys, this one is meant for the Workfest. I had good fun doing this as it was quite cathartic!! I had a job i was stuck in years ago and still have bad memories but thank god i am no longer there, so this one is really just sticking the boot in for old times sake... he he!!!

Bass now added...

Words:

Sick and tired and... no i don't feel fine
Nobody told me, its just like doing time

They got you where they want you, no use fighting back,
They'll keep you running on that wheel, give you a heart attack

Ha ha run little boy...
keep turning that wheel!!!!




You know the call it work, but its just a game,
They didn't tell you its, gonna drive you insane

They'll give you just enough, just enough to survive
Just one big sack of shit, this 9 to 5




This job I'm gonna, I'm gonna sacrifice
Tell my boss to go to hell, get me a better life

He can stick it where the sun don't shine, right up his ass
find some other willing fool, cause i ain't gonna last.


Run along now boy...
and count your money
He he!!!!

Great sound Mike, so well recorded and performed, love the guitar tone......Alex

[Redler]

Loved the feel of this! Excellent performance!

Some nice prog rock fills on drums gives a good flavor to this! WOW!!

[kenny mac]

Brilliant guitar tone there.
This paints a great picture and tells a cool story,I can just see a young apprentice stuck in a dead end job .
Been there before,I've Been the Hamster on that wheel lol.
Nice one.

[Oldrottenhead]

i can relate to this one. loving the drums too, are they real or programmed?

[Mike_S]

Thanks for listening guys... appreciate it. Jim, those drums are not real - they are done in logic on the midi part just shifting the wee blocks around until they sound about right. but they are then put through a more realistic drum software thingy i bought called Addictive Drums plug in.

Cheers guys!!

[Oldrottenhead]

cheers mike. i need to investigate that software.

[Nelson]

This is a smoker indeed and I find myself GWNV. green with envy

That's how I want to do it, when I grow up.
