Life of an Office Worker - Momus

Well I know that rock and roll used to be more than rock and roll

And jazz don’t mean what they play late at night

And high energy disco was the music of the gays

And the black and white minstrels are white

But I’ve got to believe in the golden glow

The sinking sun, the money and the light

So me and some honky tonk women gonna rock tonight

Give me rock and roll, give me aggressive normality

Some ba-ba-ba banal spirituality

'Cause I’m so free and so unbelieveably tough

It’s never loud enough

Life of an office worker

Rock and roll, rock and roll forever

I’ve never been to New Orleans or Memphis Tennessee

But I’ve heard about those places many times

And the cars and food round here just ain’t fast enough for me

And that legendary good time’s something I just can’t seem to find

But I’ve got to believe in the golden glow

So take me to a show tonight

Me and some hot sweet mama’s gonna rock tonight

Give me rock and roll, give me aggressive normality

Some ba-ba-ba banal spirituality

'Cause I’m so free and so unbelieveably tough

It’s never loud enough

Life of an office worker

Rock and roll, rock and roll forever

I’m not so dumb as I look

I know this whole shebang is just a trick with lights and lasers

Behind the flashbombs and the backdrop, behind the juvenile fantasia

Striplights and computers wait for me just like reality

I’m not so dumb as I look, I know this razzmatazz

Is just the same old rock guitar

And those polite, tight-lipped Japanese businessmen

Are bigger than the big rock stars

Those polite, tight-lipped Japanese men

Drive bigger, faster cars I know, but please

Let me rock and roll 'til I lose control

Give me rock and roll, give me aggressive normality

Some ba-ba-ba banal spirituality

'Cause I’m so free and so unbelieveably tough

It’s never loud enough

Life of an office worker

Rock me to the end of the American Empire

Rock me to the end of the American Empire

Rock me to the end of the American Empire

Rock me to the end of the American Empire

Rock me to the end of the American Empire
