Lyrics
In a suit, on a Thursday, Karen steps off the train
Has a walk to the office, when it starts to rain
Every morning, there’s regret for another wasted day
All her time and attention just for one day’s pay
She doesn’t want to work today
She doesn’t want to work today
She doesn’t want to work today
She doesn’t want to work today
There’s a million things she’d rather do
And work gets in the way
When she started she was eager; full of bright ideas
She was gonna make a difference. It all seemed so clear
She’s successful in her job; what a great career!
But she knows now: her time is wasted, and all she feels is fear
A sinking feeling as she nears the door
A question in her conscience, what is this all for?
Karen wonders, if she didn’t, what would her boss say?
She blocks the thought out, turns around and walks the other way.
She doesn’t want to work today
She doesn’t want to work today
She doesn’t want to work today
She doesn’t want to work today
There’s a million things she’d rather do
And work gets in the way
Her boss is calling but she doesn’t care
Running down the street now; people start to stare
She slips her heels off, drops her files, throws her phone away
And walks away from her old life, into a brand new day.
