Overslept
I couldn't do some of the things that I usually do
I didn't listen to the early morning bird by my window
I just couldn't sing and dance for my Lord
Some days are better when viewed upside down.
As I let go of my shoulders and feelings of guilt
I couldn't get in touch with my inner psyche
I got up so powerless to channel my imaginations
I couldn't assume full responsibility for my actions
Will this be alleged as someone else's fault?
I no longer need to deceive, penalize or compromise myself
I want to stay on the employer's payroll
In some cultures what I do would be regarded as normal
I need to respect my personality flaws
Wait a second! I need some coffee with music...
Do I need to explain every bit of myself?
I left the window wide open last night,
And woke up on the wrong side of the bed
I'm calling in dead for today
I have used up all of my given sick time
I just can't find my way into work today.
I didn't listen to the early morning bird by my window
I just couldn't sing and dance for my Lord
Some days are better when viewed upside down.
As I let go of my shoulders and feelings of guilt
I couldn't get in touch with my inner psyche
I got up so powerless to channel my imaginations
I couldn't assume full responsibility for my actions
Will this be alleged as someone else's fault?
I no longer need to deceive, penalize or compromise myself
I want to stay on the employer's payroll
In some cultures what I do would be regarded as normal
I need to respect my personality flaws
Wait a second! I need some coffee with music...
Do I need to explain every bit of myself?
I left the window wide open last night,
And woke up on the wrong side of the bed
I'm calling in dead for today
I have used up all of my given sick time
I just can't find my way into work today.
