I Wanna Go Home — текст песни (Ugly Duckling)

What time is it?

It 6:47 AM when I look at the clock and cough
6:50, the alarm goes off
I stumble to the shower, brush my teeth
And get dressed as I try to find something to eat
I spot a cookie in the kitchen drawer
And at 7:34 I`m out the door
Sitting in traffic, no escape
I`m gonna be late, work starts at 8
I check my watch and it`s 8:03
Finally I arrive at the j-o-b
I get to my desk, what`s this mess?
New projects? I`m already stressed
I sit stunned till 8:15
By 8:31 I`m ready to scream
22 messages on my phone
I just got here and I wanna go home

I wanna go home

9:30, my stomach is startin to ache
But I have to wait a half hour for my break
Bless, somebody just called in sick
Coughin and wheezin, yup, the whole shtick
More work for me, it`s 10:42
Someone says, The boss wants to see you
At 10:47 I`m gettin yelled at
I was gonna yell back but my voice fell flat
I`m still ( ? ) at 11:39
And that`s when I`m told they cut my lunch time
Mandatory meeting and all I can do is groan
I wanna go home

I wanna go home

(You got to have a job
your feet on the table)
(You got to have a job
to keep the family able)

(How long until I can go home?)

The afternoon`s draggin, it`s 2:02
When I`m laggin, avoidin what I`m s`posed to do
A co-worker gets on my case
Tellin me I need to smile, I hate this place
At 3 o`clock I walk outside
Standin by the backdoor try to hide
Gotta make it till five, then I escape
3:30, they ask me to stay late
First I say, Sure, then I say, Wait
I can`t, I`ve got an appointment to make
Then, at 4:10 they ask again
The manager`s actin like he`s my friend
Hmm, let me think about it - no
I`m ready to go, see you tomorrow
It`s 5 o`clock on the dot so you gotta leave me alone
It`s time to go home
