Lyrics

Dead last in the rat race
Well, guess what I don't mind
The world at my door only tells me
You had better stay inside
It's all just monkey busines - if it bleeds it leads
Everybody tries to sell me things that I don't need
(And I don't need a thing)
Surprise, I'd rather be alone
And keep my whereabouts unknonw
Non-exister - I call in sick forever
Non-exister - one million ties to sever
Non-exister - forget my name, forget my number
I am gladly going under
Don't expect a postcard from me
Forget my name, forget my number
I am gladly going under
Just don't wait up for me
Dead last in the rat race - fuck the daily grind
Mark my words, from this day forward
Vanishing is my 9 to 5
I'll stay under the radar - I'll be the odd one out
I'm gonna be a goner and boy it makes me proud
Surprise, I'd rather be alone
And keep my whereabouts unknonw
Non-exister - I call in sick forever
Non-exister - one million ties to sever
Non-exister - forget my name, forget my number
I am gladly going under
Don't expect a postcard from me
Forget my name, forget my number
I am gladly going under
Just don't wait up for me
(Coz I don't need nothing)
