Ogre Son of Sisyphus lyrics

Life is a gift I wish it away Takes all of my will to get through the day They say that I'm blessed with a factory job Instead I feel cursed like Odysseus' dog

A dog that rolls over just for a bone but longs to go out and play I spend my strength on this unyielding stone and I know that tomorrow I'll do the same thing as today

I spend all my time at something I hate Oh how'd I get here? I guess its just fate Its good to provide for those whom you love So gather your strength and give one more shove

At work I slog through a river of mud while the clock seems to stand still The Son of Sisyphus slavin' away just to drag and to push and to roll that great rock up the hill


The older I get the less that I know It ain't over yet but I want to let go

Like Prometheus chained to the cliff the vultures gnaw me inside And though I heal up at night when I'm home I know they will find me again ‘cause at work I can't hide
