lyrics

Alarm clock goes off at the crack of dawn
I’m stuck behind a computer by 8.
I do this for my professional future
it’s an internship, god no, not paid
Dinner time: my real job
the one I need to cover rent
whizzing through dirty dishes,
armani barbies and business men---

Then the boss comes up with a false concerned look on his face
you know, your contract is ending this month
last to come, first to go, that’s the rule
I’m afraid we can’t afford hiring you right now
Just another freshly graduate on the unemployment scene...

Don’t worry girl, you’ll find another fabulous temp job
they are flourishing all over the hypocritical labour market now
Don’t worry girl, you studied years at university
you’ve sure got qualifications
Don’t worry girl, if you can’t pay rent
you can go back to living in your parents home ...
no!

Alarm clock goes off at the crack of dawn
I’m stuck behind a computer by 8.
I do this for my professional future
another internship, of course, unpaid.
Now in the afternoon
I move from an occasional job to an interview
north to east and south to west
maybe I’ll find half an hour to kiss you babe
half-an-hour-....to kiss-you-babe.

Before I crumble into anxious sleep here’s the news
thanks to the new bill on the labour market we’ll be fighting
informal employment, black market will surface, official rates rise by x%
just another manipulation on the misinformation screen...

over and over I turn in bed
body and soul can get no rest
cause over and over they turn us
we are flexible working women
over and over I turn in bed
body and soul can get no rest
cause over and over they turn us
am I just a flexible working woman?

about

Danso Key Rome, Italy

Danso Key is a queerforward power trio that combines unrelenting drums, an electric cello boosted on low frequencies, an intoxicated guitar and velvety vocals: the result is warm but abrasive.
In January 2019 their album “LAVA” is out on Unrecords: nine crisp songs telling the ordinary turmoils of the queer next door. The 90's are back and so is Danso Key.
