A Day at the Office
Dark Humor Unveiled: Guttermouth's 'A Day at the Office' Narrative
Lyrics
Out in the backyard yesterday
Engaging in activities in the backyard the previous day.
Trimming the hedge while the neighbors kids wer in the pool
Trimming the hedge while the neighbors' kids are in the pool.
The power cord got a little close to the waters edge
The power cord got dangerously close to the water, posing a risk.
And sent 10.000 volts down little Billy's spine
Accidentally sent 10,000 volts into little Billy while near the water.
He was only nine better luck next time
Billy is only nine years old; a dark humor comment about luck in surviving.
Woke up one Sunday afternoon
Waking up on a Sunday afternoon alone.
The families' gone on a hunting trip for caribou
Family on a hunting trip for caribou, leaving the speaker alone.
Broke out the ladder gonna patch some holes up on the roof
Attempting to fix the roof with a ladder.
I slipped and fell and landed on the ground
Fell from the ladder while trying to patch holes in the roof.
No one was around when will I be found
Nobody is around, and the speaker is left wondering when they will be found.
I'm sure not glad it happened
Expressing dissatisfaction with what happened.
But I'm happy as can be
Despite the accident, the speaker is happy because it didn't happen to them.
That it took the life from someone else
Grateful that the incident caused harm to someone else, not the speaker.
Better them than me
Preference for someone else suffering rather than oneself.
Bought a home right by the plant
Purchased a home near a plant that was thought to be safe.
They said she'd never blow again like she did before
Skepticism about the plant's safety as it had a history of blowing up.
Perhaps they spoke a bit too soon cause a half passed noon
The plant unexpectedly exploded, contradicting earlier assurances.
She blew like hell and then the sky turned red
The explosion had severe consequences, turning the sky red with toxins.
Toxins overhead everybody's dead
Resulted in the death of everybody in the vicinity due to toxins.
Pleasant dreams and thanks for listening
Ending with a sarcastic and darkly humorous note, thanking the listener for listening.
