Leisure

Leisure

They taught me how to work

But they can't teach me how to shirk correctly

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

As you see, science once again robs us of our jobs

They've put a microchip in my place

I hide behind a screen of aggression nowadays

It's just a way of saving some face

So now I'm permanently drunk

Like the rest of the race with leisure

If you think I'm clowning

I assure you that I'm drowning here in leisure

They taught me how to work

But they can't teach me how to shirk correctly

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

I spend all day and all my allowance on TV games

Amusement heaven at the flick of a switch

Instead of a lathe, I busy my fingers nowadays

By scoring goals with the gentlest twitch

I've forgotten how to use my legs

To invade the pitch of leisure

If you think I'm clowning

I assure you that I'm drowning here in leisure

They taught me how to work

But they can't teach me how to shirk correctly

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

They had retired before I left school

(Just saw no point in the standing in line)

So I spend lots of time lounging at home

(Why not come in 'cause the carpet is fine)

What a waste of breath it is

Searching for the jobs that don't exist

So now I'm permanently drunk

Like the rest of the race with leisure

If you think I'm clowning

I assure you that I'm drowning here in leisure

They taught me how to work

But they can't teach me how to shirk correctly

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh

La, la, la, la, leisure, la, la, la, la, leisure

Lazybones, looking through The Sun

How'd you ever find your day's work?

(Work)

Oh, leisure

(Ooh leisure, leisure)

Lazybones, looking through The Sun

How'd you ever find your day's work?

(Work)

Oh, leisure
