Story Behind The Song

While enduring My Ten Year self inflicted, ever increasing horror of working for an unamed delivery service (1-800-fed-up) my emotions led me to vent via the writing of Another Worker In the Hive...

Song Description

The song focuses on the feelings of an individual desparate to escape the souless corporate web of bullshit he has unwittingly involved himself in. The never ending escalation of pressure to perform at an ever faster pace, as well as a never ending place

Lyrics

Well cut my dreams short, You dam alarm clock
Uh job you like, Well is it just talk
Forci'n yourself to get, Out of bed
And your gettin to work, And your wishin you're dead
Slavi'n away for your daily bread
Always lookin, For uh way out
And your stuck, Its uh dead end job
Its their game, And the worker's get robbed
Rules are endless, Their relentless
Well their beatin you down, Till its hard to get up
Don't tell the bossman, Shut the hell up
Cuz mister. Your out of uh job tonight
Chorus: Its the workin mans life
Its the workin mans life
And He works all day
For His hard earned pay
Its the workin mans life
Its the workin mans life
His is not to reason why
His is but to work and die
He's just tryin, too survive
Another worker in the hive
Another worker in the hive
Sometimes he wonders, When its late
Just how much. can uh man take
Seems lately he's eatin, More and more crow
And he's chokin on that humble pie
Going thru the motions, Tryin hard to hide his emotions
And they just keep on beatin him down
Uh punch drunk boxer, stumblin round
Feelin like he's just uh number
And all too easily replaced, when he's finally left that place
He's just been just plain erased
Chorus:
