these working shoes are all I see
worn out hole in my soul
drowning in this downward stare
feeling full of rain inside
the light of youth is dead in me
waking up is hard today
and I just can't afford to care
the stench of dirty hours; broken, worn-out soul
and day by day they plod away through schedule and control
the hands of time are choking me
cold,dead fingers around my neck
the sweat bleeds out my time-card brain
tik-tok-tik-tok-tik-tok-tik-tok
I work so hard to get away
run and run to where they're not
but money makes us all it's slave
seven days a week or more living in a hole and day by day they plod away
through schedule and control
