Alarm clock rings. I crawl out of bed.
I'm not looking forward, to what lies ahead.
All day, oh oh, I'm like a zombie,
The working dead. The working dead.

Today's gonna be a boring day.
I know it.
I'm not interested in what I'm doing.
I show it.
I wish that I could walk away.
Oh you know. Oh you know. Oh you know.

Would happiness be worth the wait?
Would all the mondays be worth the pain?
Some say, oh oh, some say they'll see.
I don't agree. I don't agree.

Today's gonna be a boring day.
I know it.
I'm not interested in what I'm doing.
I show it.
I wish that I could walk away.
Well you know. Well you know. Well you know,
We're all the same.

Nose to grindstone everyday.
I walk to work and say,
"I wish that I could go,
Somewhere where time's not despised,
Clocked in and put in line,
But that's the way it goes."

Spending our years pinned as slaves.
Tired and under-paid,
While no one really knows,
What life's about-
Work to survive until we're 65,
And then it's time to die.

Nose to grindstone. -Everyday,
I walk to work and say,
"I wish that I could go."
Working so hard just to survive,
Until we're 65,
And then it's time to...

[1 2 3 4]
Cry with the rest of them.
Die like the best of them.
We lie to ourselves,
And think that life's exciting.
We cry... we die.
We lie... we die.
Without ever knowing what we could've done,
With ourselves.
