I'm not trying to be mean or any of that This is for your own good and I'm not going to be traumatized Because you want to be dumb Day in and day out I work my job Job that I could only dream to have How do you like it now? How do you like it now? How do you like it now? I just have to clock in and clock out I'd be myself but I'm not allowed How do you like it now? How do you like it now? How do you like it now? When I'm down and out (being slapped) What I picture (being banged) Is something greener (getting crap) Like some time to kill (feeling shame) Show me waterfront, I want serenity (gotta be another way) Show me something that I can't see (let's get to a common place) Gather on the ground I've got no more time to waste Run down! Are you asking me to work some more? Okay It's fine Up at dawn and never see the Sun Counting down the moments ‘til I'm done How do you like it now? How do you like it now? How do you like it now? Life's a process (being slapped) But it can happen to you too (being banged) If you let 'em (getting crap) Get the best of you who? (Feeling shame) It's your landlord and they love to give you grief (gotta be another way) Yeah, they really know how to do it (I'll just find myself a plot) Live out on the land Do what I want no second thought Hobby! If I didn't have to toil away I'd have time to paint Pushing my colors around the page Van Gogh!
