I Don't Want to Work Today

by Beatnik Turtle

on All in a Day's Work (2007), The Song Of The Day.Com - June (2008), The Best of the Song of the Day (2014)

I never thought I'd wind up here
Not in a million years
Working every day to stay ahead
Only to fall behind my peers

They all have it better
They all have it better than me and

(Chorus)
I don't want to work today
No I don't want to work today
I don't want to work today
No I don't want to work today
I don't want to work today
No I don't want to work today
I don't want to work today
No I don't want to work today

Voted most likely to succeed
So many years ago
What the hell now happened to me
What do I have to show?

I thought I'd have it better
I thought I'd have it better by now and

(Chorus)
I don't want to work today
No I don't want to work today
I don't want to work today
No I don't want to work today
I don't want to work today
No I don't want to work today
I don't want to work today
No I don't want to work today

Trying to beat the clock
Show someone plainly again
This guy is cuttin' me off
But I'm not giving in
And he's just thinkin'

(Chorus)
I don't want to work today
No I don't want to work today
I don't want to work today
No I don't want to work today
I don't want to work today
No I don't want to work today
I don't want to work today
No I don't want to work today
