We be glum
Working for elite
And from the moment we clock on
We're run off our feet

They say we're the flunkies
There's heaps of us all flunking around
In summertime we're stinking
'Cus the air condit'ning's down

We do whatever we're told to
Not what we want to do
"Recheck those five new addresses
Ensure the coffee brews..."

They treat us like monkeys
For peanut pay we beg and cow down
To short-term contracts, clinging
As temps, we get jerked around

Yet on us they depend-y
Though, you'll never hear them say
We get drunk on frustration
It happens day after day

Petty crime? Well, just beware
Somewhere over your shoulder
The boss is standing there

That copier's clunky
I'm freakin' as it's breakin' a-down
Aware of myself thinking
"Boss won't understand, just frown..."

Occ'pational junkies
In coffee cup, some dunkin' abounds
"The cost of living's stinging"
We ponder as donut drowns...

And though Management's friendly
They told us just the other day
Caused us much consternation
"We better check how much you're paid"

They say we're the flunkies
Hey, hey we're the flunkies
