The Apprentice - John Martyn

I work at the station

At the heart of the nation

I tell you no lie

I keep the pace

In the energy race

I never ask why

I tell you the boss don’t care

I know that the boss don’t care

He don’t even talk to me

Tell me, what’s wrong

What’s wrong with the life I live

Tell me, what’s wrong

What’s wrong with this world I’m in

Wouldn’t it be good to get out of here

Wouldn’t it be good to get out of here

Wouldn’t it be good to get out of here

Wouldn’t it be fine to get out

As cool as a river

Safe as a baby

So they say

So quiet, so cleanly

Shining discretely

Working away

I tell you the boss don’t care

I know that the boss doesn’t care

He don’t even talk to me

Tell me, what’s wrong

What’s wrong with this life I live

Please tell me, what’s wrong

What’s wrong with this life I live

My eyes are so heavy

They follow the water

Down to the stream

My conscience is cloudy

My heart gets so weary

It cannot be, it never was my dream

I tell you the boss don’t care, don’t care

I know that the boss don’t care

He don’t even talk to me

Tell me, what’s wrong

What’s wrong with this life I live

Please tell me, what’s wrong

What’s wrong with this world I’m in

Tell me

What’s wrong with this life I live?

Tell me, what’s wrong, what’s wrong
