Ain't Workin' No More

from ABYSSINIA (Album) by Garrington T Jones

/

about

Imagine what it would be like not having to go to the day-job anymore and escaping the “daily grind” and over bearing bosses. It’s a great feeling so I am told, better still if you have an occupational pension. Well we can but dream.

lyrics

Ain’t workin’ no more,
There’s no need to get out of bed.
Ain’t workin’ no more,
There’s no need to get out of bed.
I don’t need to catch a train this morning,
I’ll stay at home and do nothin’ instead.

Ain’t workin’ no more,
Gonna leave my car on the drive.
Ain’t workin’ no more,
Gonna leave that car of mine on the drive.
No more commuting baby,
Yeah it sure is good be alive.

No more drivin’ in the dark,
For an hour or may be two.
I don’t need this no more,
This turning of the screw.
Shut inside a cage all day,
And I never see the sun.
Then drive home in the dark again,
Oh man, this just ain’t no fun,
I ain’t workin’ no more…….

No more workin’ for a boss man,
Who loves to scream and shout.
Won’t see him no more,
When he waves his arms about.
No more working for a pittance,
No more of this daily grind.
No more will I slave for you,
I’ve got a united state of mind,
I ain’t workin’ no more……

I ain’t workin’ no more,
Man; it’s so good to be alive.
I ain’t workin’ no more,
I said, dear Lord it’s so good to be alive.
Yeah, I don’t need to work for nobody,
I got my full pension at fifty-five.

I ain’t workin’ for no one,
I ain’t workin’ for you,
I ain’t workin’, workin’ no more.
