lyrics

Seven a.m. my alarm goes off to start another terrible day
Of busting my hump for some dumb chump
who’s paying me minimum wage
And ‘o how nice it’d be if I could quit
and playing guitar was all the work I did
And ‘o how nice my life would be if I never had to wake up until 3

I don’t wanna go to work
I don’t wanna go to work wa-o-o
I don’t wanna go to work, don’t wanna work today

I sit up in my bed and rub my head like I do every other old day
I wipe the sleep from my eye and let out a sigh
work sucks but I got bills to pay
And ‘o how nice it’d be if I could quit
and playing guitar was all the work I did
And ‘o how nice my life would be if I never had to wake up until 3

I don’t wanna go to work
I don’t wanna go to work wa-o-o
I don’t wanna go to work, don’t wanna work today

I’m sick and tired cause everyday
I’ve gotta go to work I got bills to pay
I got no money but I’ve got a guitar
yea I just wanna be a rock-n-roll star

I don’t wanna go to work
I don’t wanna go to work wa-o-o
I don’t wanna go to work , don’t wanna work today

Seven a.m. my alarm goes off to start another terrible day
Of busting my hump for some dumb chump
who’s paying me minimum wage
And ‘o how nice it’d be if I could quit
and playing guitar was all the work I did
And ‘o how nice my life would be if I never had to wake up until 3

I don’t wanna go to work
I don’t wanna go to work wa-o-o
I don’t wanna go to work, don’t wanna work today

I don’t wanna go to work wa-o-o
I don’t wanna go to work wa-o-o
I don’t wanna go to work , don’t wanna work today
