I’ve started to create a playlist of work-related songs for days I’m feeling cynical at and about work. It’s got some classics like 16 Tons, 9 to 5, and Welcome to the Machine. But also more metaphorical songs like ‘The Snake’ from Shivaree.

pink floyd - welcome to the machine
I can’t think of a song for “I like my job and the people I serve and my team, but my managers have all been aliens wearing skin suits pretending to human and that’s pretty soul sucking” so someone please write me one.

For some reason a whole lot of Metallica songs come to mind:
First four tracks of the Justice album
- Blackened
- … And justice for all
- Eye of the beholder
- One
Also,
- Master of Puppets
- Disposable Heroes
it’s been mentioned, but there’s a cover of ‘Take This Job and Shove It’ by Dead Kennedys that’s fun. and more recently, ‘I Don’t Want to Work for Scum anymore’ by the Murder City Devils. just Murder City Devils in general
Fucking Werewolf Asso - Cri Du Chat
It’s only got one sentence “sung” (more like yelled in anguish) : ‘I try to live my own life but they won’t let me’
Very good guitar build up and the drop pays off
“Halloween” by Dead Kennedys
Ram-Zet - No Peace

I’m inside you
