	Story Behind the Song The female singer on this disc is Nadine. She works at a local post office as a clerk.One day she said she would like to sing a song about how sucky her job is. She told me a list of grievances and I put them together in a song. Incidentally,this song was written before the Anthrax scare last year. Lyrics Well this graveyard shift will bury me alive I'm too tired to see I really shouldn't drive But I gotta make it home 'cause my family's depending on me That's how it goes when you're working for the PO in the 21st century I used to arise at three o'clock in the morning Out on the dock I'd see the sun a-dawnin' But I never saw the beauty and the future's coming much too slow No, I never saw the beauty the bell summoned me to duty How I landed here I just don't know So I'll process one more letter as I hope for something better at the 21st century PO The hands of the man who stands and throws can be compared to a gardener's tool Crippled with pain, his fingers deranged Silent, he works like a mule Oh, I wonder if he sees something better on the horizon down the road Does he see something better tell me, does it really matter in the 21st century PO They say the days of overtime will soon be coming to an end I need a fifty hour week to pay the mortgage Oh, my situation finds me needing overtime just to survive I'm gonna change my situation find a brand new occupation say goodbye to everyone I know Till then I'll hope for something better as I process one more letter in the 21st century PO!
