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.

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.
Maybe I’ll ask Chat GPT.
Alestorm - Fucked with an anchor
Dolly Parton, 9 to 5

I’m inside you
I’m within your mind
All around you
No peace
