Sitting Behind My Desk
It's inspired by the comic strip 'Your Working Day Emotion Check List' from Matt Groening.
I wanted to write something about all these 'dumb' jobs in cubicles where you spend all your time behind a computer doing silly tasks and at the end of the day, you just realize you've wasted your time (this refers to my internship experiences; I'm lucky I've had great jobs so far with great people, in human-friendly environments).
Same melody as 'Sitting On the Dock Of The Bay', by Otis Redding.
I'm sitting behind my desk
I'll be sitting 'till the evening comes
Surfing on the Internet
Waiting for 5pm to come
I'm sitting behind my desk
I want to get out, smoke a cigarette
I've already had ten coffee breaks
I'm wasting time
(Bridge) If only I was outside
Sitting on the beach, and looking at the sky
I don't even know what's the weather outside
I'm trapped in a box, and I feel I'm gonna cry
I'm sitting behind my desk
Try to stay cool, in this crazyness
I refuse to play the game
I'm alive
I'm running out reaching the door
You can't trap me inside, I need to fly
Don't wanna be a robot for the rest of my life
I'm alive
