Used To Work

Up in the morning, out of the block
Into the office it's down to the boss
Up, down and sideways, straight across
Who sets the motion? Who gets the job?
Who gets the job?
I just got a promotion
The people are bigger up there
Get a suit to fit
Get a suit to fit
Get a suit to fit
Routinery scenery go holiday
The distance we go is set by the pay
Ambition retrieval, "We'll get there one day"
Who sets the distance? Where do you stay?
Where do you stay?
I just got an extension
The office had run out of space
Getting on with it
Getting on with it
Getting on with it
Out of the office, back from the block
Came worker and workload set by the clock
Checked in on family, checked out the box
It's not what you're getting, it's what you haven't got
This bloke just won a million quid
And he's gonna keep his job
Got used to it
Got used to it
Got used to it
