lyrics

Well I've had enough of the city
and I've had enough of the traffic jams
I'm sick to death of my apartment
and I don't want to drink no more cafe-goddamn-latte

I'm sick of working for what they tell me that I want
I'm Going to the swamp
going back to the swamp.
Gonna jig me up a frog
down in the bog

Gonna sit on the deck of my shack
that my own self I built
It sits up off the water
on account of the stilts

CHORUS

OK I'll go to work,
drunk,
In a canoe
and I'm my own goddamn boss

CHORUS

Im sick of driving my car
and I'm sick of watching TV
and I'm sick of going to work
and I'm sick of staying home on sunday

I ain't gonna work no more
for what they tell me that I want
I'm going to the Swamp
Going back to the Swamp
