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.

I can’t think of a song for “I like my job and the people I serve and my team, but my managers have all been aliens wearing skin suits pretending to human and that’s pretty soul sucking” so someone please write me one.
Maybe I’ll ask Chat GPT.
pink floyd - welcome to the machine
Dolly Parton, 9 to 5
Little Bit Off by Five Finger Death Punch

I do coke, so I can work longer, so I can earn more. So I can do more coke
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
Helloween - I want out
Some projects are very painful
“Halloween” by Dead Kennedys
Ram-Zet - No Peace
"
I’m inside you
I’m within your mind
All around you
No peace
