I'm no fan of country, but when I heard the song "Shiftwork" I got "shitwork" in my head, and the rest just wrote itself.
Shitwork
Shit work, grunt work, like a dog
Polo shirt , pair of khaki pants
No union
I sweat, soaked shirt, no A/C
Store never closes
And complaining never stops
Not all day
Work 5 to 1:30, 1:30 to 10
But no third shift
(That’s a shift premium, you know)
Shit work, tough work for that frazzled bitch desk clerk
Two feet that hurt, plus a head
Cursing some jackass
Threw a toaster at her head, says he won’t be back
Of course he will
Work 5 to 1:30, 1:30 to 10
And no third shift
(What, you don't really want to sleep?)
Ranting about a bunch of shit work
A steamin’ pile of shit work
5 to 1:30
1:30 to 10
Maybe 7 to 3:30
Well I work, servin’ jerks
Ten years man, still stuck in that work
Hard to keep a place, got no money to save
If I get some numbers right, I could win the lottery
Walk away from this place
And drink my money away
I’ll party
5 to 1:30
1:30 to 10
And overnight too!
