lyrics

Get up, brush you teeth, comb you hair pull your pants up tight
Read the news, wonder why we’re fallin’ behind
Start the car, go to work, get there on time
Sit and stare at the wall like you’re not alive

You may not like it
But you have to deal with it
Though you don’t agree with it
‘Cause that’s the way it’s got to be

Sit up, twirl your pen, sort some files and you do it right
You work 9 to 5 At your desk all night
Then you go to the bar to forget it all
Then you rinse and repeat do it all again

You may not like it
But you have to deal with it
Though you don’t agree with it
‘Cause that’s the way it’s got to be

You’ve got all this debt that one day you will have to repay
Go to school half your life just to find you can’t
Get a job ‘til you get experience
Now you’re down 80 grand that you’ll never get back

You may not like it
But you have to deal with it
Though you don’t agree with it
‘Cause that’s the way it’s got to be

Get up, brush you teeth, comb you hair pull your pants up tight
Read the news, wonder why we’re fallin’ behind
Start the car, go to work get there on time
Sit and stare at the wall like you aren’t alive
