about

The song is part of my concept album about my life. This song is about going to work experience on Tuesdays.
The song is performed on acoustic guitar while I talk through the lyrics. Due to my inexperience with barre chords, the notes come out buzzy.

lyrics

Tuesday arrives and I wake up sleepy
And my buddies drag me to work today
Though not at school, work is just as hard
But I'll just suck it up and stand guard
I'm absolutely entitled in my work
But it don't last forever, that's what I say

Each term gives me a new alteration
Of course I'm not under domination
They tell me I'll burn out in the pit
Obviously I know that's just bullshit
I'm absolutely entitled to my work
But it don't last forever, that's what I say

You know, I won't put up any pretense
The grass may be green on the other side of the fence
But that thought is really my weakness
Time to get out of my bleakness
I'm entitled to what I do best
But it don't last forever, that's what I say

I don't earn my pay, I ain't got any money
So I guess I'll take all of yours, honey
Haven't slept in days, I'm gravely
You'll have to knock me down bravely
I'm entitled to what I do best
But it don't last forever, that's what I say
