Gotta
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Money, it'll feed my tummy
But it, will never feed my soul
Where my soul should me
There's a hole in me
I can't live from 9 to 5
That's not enough to keep me alive
Gotta have a fantasy
Gotta have a dream
Doesn't matter what it may be
Only what it may seem
Funny, when you got no money
Then your, time is not your own
Where my time should be, there's only drudgery
I can't live from 9 to 5
That's not enough to keep me alive
Gotta have a fantasy
Gotta have a dream
Doesn't matter what it may be
Only what it may seem
Gotta have a reason to get out of my bed
I never want to feel my life's been wasted
Makin money, it'll feed my tummy
But it, will never feed my soul
When my soul should be
There's a hole in me
I can't live from 9 to 5
That's not enough to keep me alive
Gotta have a fantasy
Gotta have a dream
Doesn't matter what it may be
Only what it may seem
Gotta have a fantasy
Gotta have a dream
Doesn't matter what it may be
Only what it may seem to me.
