We whistle while we work. It’s how we keep from screaming

We spent a lot of time at work today thinking up an anthem for our office. At first we thought we’d write one from scratch, but then we thought, “the Hell with that.”

There are already so many excellent songs that exactly convey our sentiments, why reinvent the wheel?

For example, if you substitute the right words into Hotel Bank of No Forks you have a real gem. “You can check-out anytime you like, but you can never leave.”

Or, the Animals hit, We Gotta Get Out of This Place.

We gotta get out of this place
If it’s the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place, there’s a better life
Don’t you know, don’t you know
Man, don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know

And of course, the Boss said it best. Springsteen always says it best.

Baby this town rips the bones from your back
Its a death trap, it’s a suicide rap
We gotta get out while were young
`cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run

What song does your job inspire?
