Wake up, its 5 AM
A nice ice cold shower again
Then I’m off to work
Suit and tie and my 12 point shirt

Monday car won’t start
Most days damn hair won’t part
Whats bossman gonna say
Another day I turned up late

John Q blues, John Q blues
Hey John Q you need a new pair of shoes

Sitting there at my desk
Try like hell to do my best
Papers piled up deep and high
Dreaming of a bleeding sky

Thanks God its time to leave
Another traffic jam for me
Crawl home in my box on wheels
To another TV meal

John Q blues, John Q blues
Hey John Q you need a new pair of shoes

John Q blues, John Q blues

Hey John Q you need a new pair of shoes
