The Features – The Temporary Blues Lyrics

Blues

Traded in my tennis shoes
For steal-toed rubber boots
I got my own uniform to wear

They've given me a plastic hat,
Ear plugs and a funny net for my head,
I'm well-prepared.

Time comes when you have to choose
Occupation you can use
Well, they say it should be something you like.
But hard times just don't allow
Poor boy to be choosy how he provides.
How you get by?

Watch out now here they come.
My god what have I done?
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down.
One day we're gonna make'm change,
We're gonna turn this mess around.

Underneath fluorescent light,
Night is day and day is night.
Oh, we're waiting on a break to come.
For some coffe with a honey bun
And smal talk about the things we wish we'd done.
When we were young.
Time's up boy.

Watch out now here they come.
My god what have I done?
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down.
One day we're gonna make'em change,
We're gonna turn this mess around.

Down the line, down the line
We're sending it.
Down the line, down the line
We're puttin' in.
Overtime, overtime
We're gonna stay late.

Watch out now here they come.
My god what have I done?
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down.
One day we're gonna make'em change,
We're gonna turn this mess around.
