I Wish That They'd Sack Me

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 on the windowsill 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
