Leisure (2001 Digital Remaster)

They taught me how to work

But they can't teach me how to shirk correctly

As you see

Science once again robs us of our jobs

They've put a micro-chip in my place

I hide behind screen of aggression nowadays

Its 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

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

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

They had retired me fore 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 cos 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

Lazybones looking through the sun

Howd you ever expect to find your days work
