about

"Hi, Mr. Jackson. Well, yes I do have a very good reason for not going in to work today. Well, how about this? I didn't come to work because somehow I felt that eight hours of joyless, mind-numbing crap just didn't seem like fun." – Hal, S01E14

lyrics

This week I’ve cycled fifty-odd miles on my Dad’s old bike/
With his bag patched and hanging on my back/
And I forget why I’m here with the wind/
And the sounds of the traffic in my ears/

It always makes me believe/
In naïve sincerity and all the things dear to me/
I guess fifty miles isn’t that far/
But it’s far enough/

Now the wind is rushing in my ears/
And the rain is running in my eyes/
And I don’t want to die/
On my way to some dead end nine-to-five/

‘Cause of some worthless fucking driver/
In his 4x4, who doesn’t care if he takes/
Someone’s life/
As long as he saves a few minutes of his time/

And if it happens I don’t know what I’d have my last words be/
But I’m oh so fucking sorry that I wasted every second that I did/
On a job I always hated/

And if it happens I just hope it happens on/
My way home; while I’m singing at the top of my lungs/
I hope it happens when I mean every word/
And if I live until tomorrow/
I’m gonna quit my job/
