about

For the corporate viking in us all.

lyrics

Every morning the alarm goes off and knocks me out of bed.
I rush to catch the bus to get to work and bash some heads.
My boss is screaming murder as I punch the clock at nine.
I grab my blade and armor and start hacking up the line.

CHORUS: I'm a nine-to-five barbarian.
Don't have to do no paperwork, I'm happy as a clam.
Not a farmer or librarian,
I'm a killer with a vengeance and a profit-sharlng plan.

A coffee break at 10:00, another one at 3,
An hour off for lunch and for the doc to look at me.
A stop to sharpen up my knife and brush the guts away,
Then back into the fight to earn my dollar for the day.

CHORUS

At five the whistle blows and I go home to hearth and wife.
I have a drink and contemplate the meaning of my life.
The stresses of my budget can no longer be denied:
I'm gonna have to start assassinations on the side!

CHORUS
