Lyrics
So Here I Am
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.
Seven on a Monday morning.
And it's a sunny day.
It's just too hot to be working
But you've got to pay your way.
Chorus
So here I am sitting at the bus stop
Wishing I was somewhere else
Where I didn't have to work my rocks off
Wishing I could please myself.
Ten hours a day I'm grafting
Under the bosses eye,
Earn just enough to keep going,
Making cars I'll never buy.
Chorus
So here I am sitting ...........
Five days a week I'm giving,
My time is clocking on.
Just two days left for living,
Wondering where my life has gone.
Chorus
So here I am sitting ...........
