Weekend Superstar - Explicit Version

from The Success Pill EP (2012) by RISKEE & THE RIDICULE

/

lyrics

I'm just a weekend superstar
No one knows me 'part from the bar
My friends are my backing la la la la
On Monday you're above me well la dee da

Verse One

I'm on that minimum wage train (work, eat, sleep)
Formation lodged in my brain (work, eat, sleep)
Over and over again
You've gotta get a job and be societies slaves

Cos my manager's a arsehole and his manager's a dick
I'm working for genitalia what would my mum think
The arsehole wants to let me go 'cause he thinks I'm shit
And the dick thinks I take the piss, ain't that rich?

Well there must be more to life than this but I got my doubts
Up and down round and round on these swings and roundabouts
I kill myself at work on the crap wages they hand out
Then I kill myself for three pound a pint and six pound for a pack of snouts

Bridge

I'm just drowing in my sorrows which are so much worse than yours
We don't care 'bout your troubles so leave your troubles at the door

Hook

I'm just a weekend superstar
No one knows me 'part from the bar
My friends are my backing la la la la
On Monday you're above me well la dee da
I'm just a weekend superstar
No one knows me 'part from the bar
My friends are my backing la la la la
On Monday you're above me well la dee da

Verse 2

Blood tears and sweat (work, eat, sleep)
With that p45 threat (work, eat, sleep)
Hanging over your head
Is it best to be a robot or is it better to be dead

So my manager's above me so she thinks she owns my soul
If I feel like nothing then she's achieved her goal
She's the big fish I'm insignificant I know
But if a frog can turn into a prince well that frog used to be a tadpole

So I'll just persevere and try an' avoid the volcano
I can't get too close 'cos that bitch is gonna blow
And I'm supposed to put up with this because that's just how she roll
She thinks that I'm too thick to know the word tribunal

Bridge

I'm just burrowing in these tunnels
Which are so much more thin than yours
We don't care 'bout your troubles
So leave your troubles at the door

Hook
I'm just a weekend superstar
No one knows me 'part from the bar
My friends are my backing la la la la
On Monday you're above me well la dee da

Break down

Drowing in my sorrows
Drowning in my
Drowning in my sorrows
Drowing in my
Drowning in my sorrows
Drowning in my
Drowning in my
Drowning in my
Drowning in my
Drowning in my sorrows
Drowning in my sorrows
Drowning in my sorrows
Drowning in my
Drowning in my

Hook
I'm just a weekend superstar
No one knows me 'part from the bar
My friends are my backing la la la la
On Monday you're above me well la dee da!
