Lower Than Atlantis - Working For The Man By Day, Sticking It To The Man By Night Lyrics
I'm working this day job all week long,
With the nine to fivers where I don't belong.
It's a means to an end and it's not permanent,
When the night comes I start my shift in entertainment.
That the working day is over and I want out.
Minimum wage is a maximum pain,
But it often typically comes with the trade.
Labouring is a drag but gives me the skills,
To tour in the van but to still pay my bills.
If you graft through the valley of the shadow of shit,
You'll be amazed what you can get if you work hard for it.
I've been working this day job,
One thing I know is that the bottom of the ocean ain't too low,
To start a punk rock revolution in this disco.
And I'll say, hey hey,
Weekday, you're in my way, move.
If my story sounds similar to yours in any way,
Working for the man as a slave to low pay.
Just know you're not alone in the way that you feel,
And your expression is yours and that no-one can steal.
If you're struggling to get by, to make ends meet.
Feeling unimportant or obsolete,
Just remember the message in the words in this song,
Hum the melody in your head or sing along.
I've been working this day job,
With the nine to fivers where I don't belong.
One thing I know is that the bottom of the ocean ain't too low,
To start a punk rock revolution in this disco.
And I'll say, hey hey,
Weekday, you're in my way.

RIP. What a band
They're so good, it's a shame all these hipsters are getting to know about them- it'll change how they play in future...
He was on point as well - such a shame, Far Q, World Record and Changing Tune are some of my fav records, the new 2 are just so, eh, not special? I guess?
I love findng a new band that no one told me about, and then being able to show them to everyone.
This is definitely one of those bands.
Spread the word
The bass guitar on song is amazing :)
Wish this song was like 10 minutes longer! Or just never ended.
Theyd do so well if more people knew about them
