I’ve started to create a playlist of work-related songs for days I’m feeling cynical at and about work. It’s got some classics like 16 Tons, 9 to 5, and Welcome to the Machine. But also more metaphorical songs like ‘The Snake’ from Shivaree.

Six in the morning don't want to wake

Sun laying low and the world sleeping late

Hate like the river runs heavy and deep

Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep

Five days from seven the week's hardly mine

The alarm clock's gone over to enemy lines

Waste my time working for cowards and creeps

Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep

Rain strikes the window heralds the day

Rain won't you wash these eight hours away?

Rain feeds the river runs heavy and deep

Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep

Birds at my window sing in the dawn

By the time that I'm home all this day will be gone

Spend my life sowing what others will reap

Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep

Rain strikes the window heralds the day

Rain won't you wash these eight hours away?

Rain feeds the river runs heavy and deep

Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep

Rain strikes the window heralds the day

Rain won't you wash these eight hours away?

Rain feeds the river runs heavy and deep

Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep

Rain strikes the window heralds the day

Rain won't you wash these eight hours away?

Rain feeds the river runs heavy and deep

Oh I wish that they'd sack me and leave me to sleep

Chumbawamba -- I wish they'd sack me
