“Sat for hours in front of a screen
Mouse will tell you what you are seeing
When you get home, how to relax
Another screen for you to look at
Welcome to the world of work
It's a kind of living
where you give more than you'll ever receive
Welcome to the world of work
Only place a loyal servant can be
kicked in the teeth”
