lyrics

You run in circles for a living in a world so unforgiving. You work your fingers to the bone so the bank can own your home. Working hard or hardly working, bill collector’s always lurking, breathing heavy down your neck, waiting for your next paycheck.

Shake yourself and wake yourself, remember that this life goes by too fast for overtime, and dollar signs, and bottom lines that never really last.

You work smart, you work hard, keep your head down and punch your card while months and years just pass you by. You look up just in time to die.

Kiss some ass to get a raise, save up those vacation days. Climb the ladder to get ahead, you can sleep it off after you're dead.

Shake yourself and wake yourself, remember that this life goes by too fast for overtime, and dollar signs, and bottom lines that never really last.

Pennies saved and pennies earned, they can’t replace the time you’ve burned. So why kill two birds with a stone when you can leave the birds alone?

Shake yourself and wake yourself, remember that this life goes by too fast for overtime, and dollar signs, and bottom lines that never really last.
