They say it’s good for the economy
Toiling away 12 hours a day
End up working half my life away
While death comes ripping after me

Up in the morning and off to work
Work all day as a number for a jerk
I have to wonder if this is the best it can be

Home late once again
Not enough time for the important things
I have to consider if this is how it should be

REPEAT CHORUS

Weekend comes, got to work again
seven days a week its always the same
up just in time to leave, home just in time for bed

Is is not how I imagined my life
I think my younger self would kick my ass
When he found me wasting away for a wage

REPEAT CHORUS

Monday morning its all the same
Saturday, Sunday nothing changes
They say no pain no gain
but it seems a lot more like no gain for pain

Maybe its time to take control
Start living my life for me
Take a hint from David, Johnny, and Jello
But something tells me I’ll be back again

REPEAT CHORUS
