Working from nine to five

At last I got the feeling that Im really alive
They give you a house made out of fibro cement
You dont need no money cause you dont pay no rent
Yeah it's all so cheap

Nothing much to do on a Saturday night
Get into some booze and maybe a fight
Cause it's tough out here
Living and working on the land
Way out west where the rain dont fall
Got a job with a company drilling for oil
and I aint never gonna leave
Living and working on the land
