[00:18.88]Saturday morning comes and goes without too much on my mind
[00:24.14](Except maybe lunch)
[00:25.79]I walk down to the shops just to move
[00:27.95]Feel a bit rough from last night
[00:31.23](I may have drunk a bit too much)
[00:33.17]A lady in the supermarket approaches way too fast
[00:36.97]And her eyes are intense and she spits a little bit when she asks
[00:40.35]”Where do you keep the pasta?”
[00:41.66]”I dunno, aisle three?”
[00:43.56]”Well, can you get it for me?”
[00:44.65]I just want a Gatorade, but she rolls her eyes
[00:47.16]So I kind of lose it
[00:49.92]Hey, I don’t work here
[00:52.49]And if I did, I would not sell you shit
[00:58.14]Hey, I don’t work here
[00:59.66]But maybe I should
[01:01.74]That way I could hide all of the things you want from you
[01:04.68]Hey, I don’t work here
[01:07.33]But if I did
[01:09.03]Would I be wearing a dirty white singlet
[01:11.25]Ya fool?
[01:12.41]Hey, I don’t work here
[01:14.49]But maybe I should
[01:16.08]”Silly me, I’ve had the pasta all along
[01:18.72]Fuck you!”
[01:22.33](I don’t work here)
[01:25.92](I don’t work here)
[01:27.18]
[01:33.61](Bah)
[01:34.19]Saturday arvo comes and goes and I’m feelin’ pretty great
[01:39.31]I made a middle-aged woman cry today
[01:41.34]Walkin’ on the hot sand of Bondi Beach
[01:43.57]I take a rest in the lifeguard tower shade
[01:47.05]My foresight readies me for melee
[01:48.93]A man runs from the surf and approaches way too fast
[01:52.42]With a bluebottle across his chest he shakes me as he asks
[01:56.29]”You’ve gotta save my kid!”
[01:57.09]”I can’t really swim”
[01:58.41]”What kind of lifeguard are you, then?”
[02:00.24]I’m just here to take a nap
[02:01.46]But he rolls his eyes, so I kind of snap
[02:05.77]Hey, I don’t work here
[02:08.10]And if I did, I would not save your kid
[02:13.43]Hey, I don’t work here
[02:15.69]But maybe I should
[02:17.39]That way I could help relieve that nasty sting for you
[02:20.76]Hey, I don’t work here
[02:22.94]But if I did
[02:24.93]Would I make a racecar out of sand then fall asleep
[02:28.65]Hey, I don’t work here
[02:30.38]But maybe I should (maybe I should, maybe I should)
[02:37.95]”Should do what?! Save my son?!”
[02:39.10]”No; get a job”
[02:40.69]”What about my son?! He’s drowning!”
[02:42.24]”Your son’s fine: he just swims weird. And you shouldn’t hold that against him”
[02:46.16]”Oh my God, thank you; I can’t begin to—
[02:48.41]He’s gone”
[02:49.77]Saturday night comes and goes without too much on my mind
[02:55.49]Just kickin’ a ball down the street
[02:57.01]I give it too much juice and it flies over the fence of my local NASA compound
[03:03.48]Just bear with me
[03:04.70]Guards are all passed out
[03:05.76]It seems there’s been a planned attack
[03:07.94]The alarm is blaring loud, but I’m the only one intact
[03:12.05]I try to phone for help, but unfortunately
[03:15.58]There’s an alien transmitting itself to NASA’s screens specifically
[03:19.47]”Give us your planet”
[03:20.54]”Okay, I don’t— let me find someone, alright; just relax”
[03:23.28]”Give us your planet”
[03:23.97]”I, I, I said— okay
[03:25.78]We’re under attack!”
[03:27.03]”Give us your planet”
[03:28.03]”Okay, I don’t have the authority to do that”
[03:30.68]I just came to get my ball
[03:31.97]But it’s been a long day
[03:33.03]So I speak for us all
[03:34.87]”Ladies and gentlemen, we are reporting live across the globe
[03:38.02]Alarming news as extraterrestrial life has issued a statement of war to Planet Earth”
[03:43.06](War)
[03:43.50]”The alien transmission technology has left all but one individual incapacitated within the transmission receiving point, a NASA space compound located in Sydney, Australia”
[03:52.67](Australia)
[03:53.73]”The time has come, and humankind can do nothing more than pray and watch on as the diplomat for Planet Earth responds with what we can only imagine as an articulate plea for peace and mercy
[04:05.66]Hey, I don’t work here
[04:08.06]And if I did
[04:10.02]I would not surrender shit
[04:13.59]Hey, I don’t work here
[04:15.53]But maybe I should
[04:17.23]That way I could take a trip to Mars and strangle you
[04:20.67]Hey, I don’t work here
[04:22.43]But if I did
[04:24.83]Do you think the President of Earth has a fuckin’ mullet?!
[04:28.15]Hey, I don’t work here
[04:30.53]But maybe I should
[04:32.09]That way I could put my planetary fist in you
[04:35.69]That way I could teach your kid to drown in front of you
[04:39.10]That way I could hide all of the linguine from you
