John Craigie
Labor Day
[Verse 1]
On Labor Day I quit my job
I went looking for the head man, I went looking for the boss
I went looking for somebody to tell my story to
I said this is the circus and you are the tattooed lady
You won't be satisfied until we’re all covered in ink
You won't be satisfied until we're all slightly dirtier than you
She said it’s now or never if you ever want to get away
I quit my job on Labor Day

[Verse 2]
I met an LDS on LSD, he said Jesus and Superman are basically the same thing
And the Bible was the very first comic book
He told me God will answer every prayer you pray
It's just that he can hear you better than you can hear yourself
He said I love my messiah I just don't get along with his old man
I said I could listen to you forever but he had nothing more to say
I quit my job on Labor Day

[Verse 3]
I ran to my lover to tell her what I had done, I said I've been molded into something unmoldable
You know I'm tired of changing the diapers on your inner child
She said things are going to go back to just the way they've been
That's about as realistic as the tenth commandment
Change rains down from above
Life is like a movie everyone just falls asleep
When credits roll we wake up and we applaud at what we did not see
Breakin out, bustin through, I'm lookin for another way
I quit my job on Labor Day
Oh and I quit my job on Labor Day
