lyrics

Wake up it's another day, my face needs yet another shave
I need to go out and go get paid, forget today’s now yesterday
I tell myself it's not too late and wish my little life away, I dress for work just like the day before

Now clamber on another train, and wait for it to get delayed
I breathe another sigh and say, ‘oh well, that’s an hours pay’
I’m screaming out internally, refuse to show emotionally
I bite my lip just like the day before

We were born, to feel disgusted in our bodies
We were born, to watch the same shows everyday
We were born, to
We were born, for everyday to feel the same

We were born, to feel our work shoes hit the pavement
We were born, to watch the clock and pray for god
We were born, to
We were born, to never wash away the shame

Wake up it's another day, my head’s in total disarray
I need to go out and go get paid, I guess we all just feel the same
I let go of my oxygen, and feel the panic closing in
I’m dressed for work just like the day before

Now clamber on another train, the same delays as yesterday
I breathe another sigh and say, ‘I can't bear to live today’
I’m screaming out externally, bleeding out emotionally,
I hit the breaks and fell down to the floor

I don’t like you, I like the way things were before
I choose live news, I stay up late to watch it all
