First verse, better not curse
Good night, sweet dreams, turn out the light
The eight hour song starts over tonight
Clock strikes twelve and my dreams are in sight
Barkin` like dogs who are eager to bite
Anxiously I drift into sleep
Haunted by treasures I couldn`t keep
Gets so I`m too lonely to weep
But somehow it`s more shallow than deep
Down I slide into music divine
Soothes my soul as it tortures my mind
Clock wakes me up at an hour to nine
Can I get to fast forward straight from rewind?
Just caught the end of the eight hour song
Don`t seem right, but you know it ain`t wrong
All about lost dreams and where they belong
But it`s really not bad for an eight hour song
Second verse, better yet worse
Give my all for the company man
Help him up and give him a hand
Ain`t this aristocracy grand?
Sell my soul for the company plan
Yes indeed, it`s a wonderful day
See my future, see it today
Don`t smoke dope, nope, keep it away
Take my coffee any old day
Don`t look back, keep lookin` ahead
Better listen to that voice in your head
Without this song you`d soon end up dead
`Cause the next one`s got so many misled
Oh my God, it`s the eight hour song
Don`t seem right, but you know it ain`t wrong
Keep that rhythm, move it along
Until you hear that final eight hour song
Third verse, life sucks
Flee that jungle, run the fuck home
Don`t look back `til you`re safely alone
Play that music, pick up the phone
Now that all your time is your own
I`ve been walked on, I`ve been abused
But that was then, now I`m just amused
Don`t have time to be singin` the blues
I can do what I like, I can go where I choose
The when is now and the where is right here
No time for doubt, no patience with fear
Sure wish I had more of these years
This song`s music to my fuckin` ears
One hour left in the eight hour song
Don`t seem right, but you know it ain`t wrong
Cheer up, cheer up, pass me the bong
`Cause this is my favorite eight hour song
