Leisure - Lyrics - Xtc

Leisure They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly Whoah As you see, science once again robs us of our jobs They've put a microchip in my place I hide behind a screen of aggression nowadays It's just a way of saving some face So now I'm permanently drunk like the rest of the race with Leisure If you think I'm clowning, I assure you that I'm drowning here in Leisure They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly Whoah I spend all day and all my allowance on T.V. games Amusement Heaven at the flick of a switch Instead of a lathe, I busy my fingers nowadays By scoring goals with the gentlest twitch I've forgotten how to use my legs to invade the pitch Leisure If you think I'm clowning, I assure you that I'm drowning here in Leisure They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly Whoah They had retired me 'fore I left school (Just saw no point in the standing in line) So I spend lots of time lounging at home (Why not come in 'cause the carpet is fine?) What a waste of breath it is Searching for the jobs that don't exist So now I'm permanently drunk like the rest of the race with Leisure If you think I'm clowning, I assure you that I'm drowning here in Lei They taught me how to work, but they can't teach me how to shirk correctly Whoah Whoah La-la-la-leisure La-la-la-leisure Lazybones, looking through the Sun How'd you ever expect to find your day's work? Lazybones, looking through the Sun How'd you ever expect to find your day's work?
