It's from a song by The Toyes (better known for their song Smoke Two Joints):
 
He's another member of the Lucky Sperm Club
The only thing he had to do was be conceived
It's great to be a member of the Lucky Sperm Club

i dont work in the general sense of the term anymore. right now i am educating myself on alternative energy production. I've decided after looking for job AND a band that i am better off working for myself and starting my own band cause i aint gonna get rich working for someone else and i am sick and tired of auditioning having to play shit i dont like and aholes expecting me to know every tune on the planet.  
so now i fish, do my stain glass,hangout,play my bass,and next yr i will be doing some interesting stuff.

Here in the UK it is a great debate item in the pubs.
I, like all my friends have worked for a salary since we left school 35 years ago and although we moan about the shirkers who take money from the government via us tax payers and it does p**s us off we are still better off financially and morally. We all would like a life of not working so we can do all the other stuff but unfortunatley unless you have won the lottery you need the money to do the other stuff!
I don't see many unemployed people with Alembic basses(davehouck exception and I guarantee there is a very valid and wholesome reason)) but without getting into the whole will work/won't work debate I know where glocke is coming from.

In my youth, I refused to work in a non-music-related job - meaning, of course, that a lot of the time, I didn't work.  It was great!  Then I got myself a few kids, and they wanted to eat, so.....17 years of getting up at 0420 to go do crap I hated.  Then laid off & back to school & 1.5 years of part-time, catch-as-catch-can.  Tomorrow I will be working full-time for the first time in 6.5 years.  I don't think I'll like being an archivist quite as much as doing sound, but I guaran-damn-tee it'll be a ton better than driving a truck!  And while my recent idleness has rendered our finacial straits rather dire, I find I still enjoy not working (and it's even better with a well-paid wife, so I could be a bum living in a nice old Victorian house rather than in my car, as was often the case back then)

Actually I've spent my whole career looking for the day I don't have to work. :-) Unfortunately that day  looks to be further away now than it was a few months ago. :-(
