Lyrics
Dayjob

Now it's time to get the whole thing started
Shoes are polished and your hair is parted
Spent the weekend wondering
where the week went
Scheming up a better way to make rent
Eight straight hours stuck here pulling punches
Got no time for breakfast brown bag lunches
Can't fit dignity into your wallet
Can't buy piece of mind with empty pockets
I'm dreaming dreams so far away
I never knew the price I'd pay to not fade away
Still don't know just how the whole thing started
End up deep in debt and heavy-hearted
Spend a lifetime wondering where the weeks went
Gotta be a better way to make rent
Punch the clock
Then you make some overtime
It's a swindle it's a fraud
It's a living it's a life
Obligations
