Lap of Luxury Songtext
von Soul Asylum

I ain′t working nine to five
I ain't going out to plant no seed
I don′t ask what I'm supposed to do, cause I've got everything I want
But I don′t have anything I need

Well I do my thing in a palace full of kings
Do it in an old broken-down shack
I′d give you the shirt off my back, show you where your systems lack
Meet you in the lap of luxury

I get off the floor and walk it off
Get back to a place that I can see
Well I'm coming back for more abuse
Meet you in the lapâ€" the lapâ€" the lap of luxury


Now I′m working noon to midnight
Now my precious seeds they have been sown
I don't ask when they′re supposed to grow 'cause I got everything I know
I don′t know anything I need

No exploitation, paid vacation
All I want's communication
That ain't too hard to see

When the van stops rolling, the band starts rocking
It ain′t too pretty, it ain′t too shocking but
I've got everything I need

I get off the floor and walk it off
Get back to a place that I can see
Well I′m coming back for more abuse
Meet you in the lap of luxury
