Lyrics
Boss better give me a raise.
Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai
Boss better give me,
Boss better give me a two-week holiday.
Day Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I’ve seen a lot of people, tryin’ to get ahead
Swimming in frustration, bound to wind up dead.
They budget every penny, budget every dime.
Push it to the limit but you’re busted every time.
Boss better give me a raise.
Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai
Boss better give me, boss better give me,
A promotion on its way
Way, way, way, way
This old traffic jam got me sitting on the brink
Time to hyperventilate instead of time to think
I don’t dream about my woman
I dream about the debt
That I’m bringing to the (inaudible)
And the sheets are soakin’ wet
Boss better give me a raise.
Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai
Give me a two-week holiday
Day Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
?? should get paid takin’ all this grief
Spendin’ all my money on my pain relief
Payin’ for the things I don’t own
Forget to pay, they take away my telephone.
He’s makin’ all that money, can afford to give me more.
If he don’t see it my way, I’m walking out that door.
Boss better give me a raise.
Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai
Boss better give me a two-week holiday.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Boss better give me a raise.
Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai
Boss better give me, boss better give me
A promotion on its way
Way, way, way, way
Boss better give me a raise.
Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai
Boss better give me,
Boss better give me a two-week holiday.
Day Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
I’ve seen a lot of people, tryin’ to get ahead
Swimming in frustration, bound to wind up dead.
They budget every penny, budget every dime.
Push it to the limit but you’re busted every time.
Boss better give me a raise.
Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai, Rai
Boss better give me, boss better give me,
A promotion on its way
Way, way, way, way
This old traffic jam got me sitting on the brink
Time to hyperventilate instead of time to think
I don’t dream about my woman
