The Lyrics

Being reassigned to menial tasks is certainly a thing that can happen. It really makes you wonder: "What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?"
Work was a little shit (only a little shit, little shit, little shit?), ooh-whee
Okay, not just a little (little, little), my brain's fizzled, oh, whoa
Frig me (frig me), I'll lay it out here (ooh-whee), gonna bare it (so bullshit)

Giant stack of stuff I've gotta do, not what's got me pissed (ha)
Got no problem slowly sloggin' through that long-ass stupid list (yup)
What has got me miffed is prob'bly not a worry for most, sorry
Should feel sorry, I'm not sorry, hate to just say "dust was swept" (what a load)

Promise I'm honest, it feels wrong to walk out the door
And all that was done was to make sure no-one coughs
That's all I did, dust was swept, no mop and bucket, dust was swept
Feels so lazy, dust was swept, swear that that ain't my whole job (so bullshit)

Not makin' heads or tails of how I failed to work today, shit (ha)
No new starters here hoggin' basic tasks, that ain't my problem (whoo)
Got nobody startin' drama, a weird schedule primadonna (ha)
Asked all day how I could help, now home, can just say "dust was swept" (c'mon)

Honestly nonsense, not even that dusty a floor
But that's all it was, shelvin'? Cashier? All got stopped
That's all I did, dust was swept (whoop), no product facin', dust was swept
Feels so basic, dust was swept, at least my pay's not cut off (that'd make me so pissed, hoo-wee!)

Wish that I could believe there's some asshole (absolute piece of shit)
Who I can blame, I need some real closure, you know (I'd like it)
I won't get that, I fear, which is real lame (hey, hey)
Doubt that will, that will shock you (whoa, whoa), c'mon
This is retail, that means (yeah-eah-eah) though there's assholes (assholes, yup)
The whole thing lives and breathes (yeah-ee-yeah-eah) on destroyin' your soul (hey, hey)
But there's one thing, I fear, that makes me say (irks me a little bit)
That something's, something's wrong, dude (not great) (ooooooh-ow!)

One bad day, I'd feel low, 'fraid that hasn't been so, it's been like this for a few weeks (for a few weeks) (uh-huh)
Clock in to see what sorta tasks they'd have for me and the rota only said "sweep" (only said "sweep")
On days off, which are few, been checkin' out for news that the bus'ness is in a rut (in a rut) (uh-huh)
And I'll be downsized but so far, there's been none, so why does my day plan suck (day plan suck) (ooh)?

Must be a problem, somethin' must be outta control
I've done nothin' wrong to deserve the change in jobs (c'mon)
That's all I did, dust was swept, no item baggin', dust was swept
Feels so lazy, dust was swept, that is not why I signed on
Some might say "Problem? Same pay just for cleanin' the floor?
Sounds incredible, I'll take that if you don't want"
Benefits to "dust was swept", not lyin' there but "dust was swept"
Feels so basic, dust was swept, not knowin' the "why" feels wrong

Reward for hard work? Odd thought there, one I'd accept, sounds awesome
Ooh-whee
Ooh-whee

As the dust clears and it all starts to disappear
It may get harder 'cause you just restarted
