Working 12 hours helping out the company
Because no one else wanted to
All you get is head banging

You go to sleep the day before
As soon as you got in from work
Because you promised to help
All you get is head banging

You rush to get out from work
Because tomorrow they wanted 14 hours
Plus 45 minutes for lunch
And you get ticketed by security
All you get is head banging

It seems in your rush to get here
No spaces at all were available
So you parked behind trucks with trailers
On a the very back end against a curb
All you get is head banging

Tired and frustrated you get mad
Maybe you should call in sick
For the head has a heart ache
Why did I even try to help?
For all I got was head banging

For all you will have to show for it
Is a ticket
And one heck of a head ache
Banging you to sleep
Into an alarm clock

Thank you officer
For I finally will get a response
From human resources
For you gave them my number
With an Excedrin #10 pill
Now I will get my written response
That they acknowledge my contribution

Comment: You should have seen the ticket they gave me? It is a huge bright pink fluorescent stand out in your face and everybody can see embarrassment.

guess they didn't want you to lose sight of the ticket and forget to pay it.

It would have been better to have a bad hair day...right?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

And here's ALOT of head banging. I felt the frustration!

Remember when we were younger and "head banging" was a good thing.
