Various Artists Lyrics

Taskmaster burst the bionic zit-splitter
Starting the song with the person in power bursting a tool-like zit-splitter

Breakneck speed we drown ten pints of bitter
We drink quickly and drown ourselves in our own bitterness

We lean all day and some say that ain't productive
People criticize us for doing nothing productive all day

That depend upon the demons that you're stuck with
Our productivity depends on the inner demons we deal with

Cause right now, I see clearer than most
I have a clear vision of my life's purpose and direction

I sit here contending with this cheese on toast
I am sitting here alone, eating cheese on toast and thinking about things

I feel the pain of a third world famine
I empathize with the people who are suffering from poverty and hunger in third world countries

We move forward with gratitude, remaining positive and keep moving.
