I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I
Live or die?
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I'm miserable now
I was looking for a job and then I found a job
And heaven knows I'm miserable now

In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I
Live or die?

What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
Oh, "you've been in the house too long" she said
And I naturally fled

In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I'd much rather
Kick in the eye?
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I'm miserable now
Oh, "you've been in the house too long" she said
And I naturally fled

In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don't care if I
Live or die?
WHY?
