Get your head out of the covers, there is nothing left to learn
When you're waiting round for something that may never even come
Lower all your expectation, laze around in overdrive
Fill your water-gun with water then you shoot down all the flies - cos
CHORUS
You're a slave to the summer, son - And how're you ever gonna get things done
If we sit and watch our skin just burn - We are slaves to the summer, son
Fill your pockets full of nothing, lose your willingness to work
If it's only for the summer just make sure no-one gets hurt
Put your coffee-making artistry to such extensive use
In conjunction with your horizontal expertise is proof -that
CHORUS
You're a slave to the summer, son - And how're you ever gonna get things done
If we sit and watch our skin just burn - We are slaves to the summer, son
p*** around just doing nothing, that's your quality of life
Living down your expectations and your own degrees of strife
There's a chance to make your money but it doesn't mean a lot
When you're free for all the summer you can waste the time you've got - cos
CHORUS
Slaves unto the summer, slaves unto the summer, son
When you're waiting round for something that may never even come
Lower all your expectation, laze around in overdrive
Fill your water-gun with water then you shoot down all the flies - cos
CHORUS
You're a slave to the summer, son - And how're you ever gonna get things done

Slaves unto the summer, slaves unto the summer, son
