Description | Working a soul-sucking 9-to-5 job, barely earning enough money to make ends meet, can wear down a spirit. For the video, I gathered some friends from the album to dance in the face of this crazy 9-to-5 culture and the Dublin housing crisis. |
Lyrics | [Verse 1] Reality’s piling up I keep a straight face but it’s calling my bluff The pressure rains from above, from above Some days I’ve just had enough Throw down all my clubs Take my ball out the rough And run just like Forrest Gump Forrest Gump You can always run but you can never hide The wolf at your door, just a matter of time Oh put on a nice suit and stand in line Anything for peace of mind [Chorus] It’s ridiculous How you gonna live like this? Slavin’ every day to make enough Just to exist It’s ridiculous 9 to 5 you want to quit But the bills are due and The pay cheque you can’t resist It’s ridiculous Forget about happiness Take your crumbs and pennies Shut your mouth get on with it It’s ridiculous Spend yourself for their wallet The human race down on their knees In the name of profit You might also like[Verse 2] Can’t stop right now, have to rush So tired of telling myself one last push Is it really worth so much? Worth so much The belly of the beast you can’t satisfy No struggle left in you Lord knows you have tried Oh you have to give in just to survive That’s how the system’s designed [Chorus] It’s ridiculous How you gonna live like this? Slavin’ every day to make enough Just to exist It’s ridiculous 9 to 5 you want to quit But the bills are due and The pay cheque you can’t resist It’s ridiculous Forget about happiness Take your crumbs and pennies Shut your mouth get on with it It’s ridiculous Spend yourself for their wallet The human race down on their knees In the name of profit [Outro] It’s all ridiculous It’s ridiculous It’s ridiculous It’s ridiculous |
