I do what I have to do
That might mean low hanging fruit
But when the world’s offering food
Who am I to refuse
And if I don’t know my worth
It’s ‘cause I was taught to know my price

People on the edge
Getting deeper into debt
And leaping from the ledge
Starts creeping in your head
Never previously needed any meds
Now you see the GP at almost every opportunity that you can get
You don’t know
If it’s anxiety of if it’s stress
It just feels like fighting off a fever in your bed
Binge watch almost every series on the net
And that makes it easy to forget
But it’s just a plaster
A fast track to disaster
A massive waste
A classic way to procrastinate
And then you hate the fact that half your
Day evaporated
And you have to
Navigate a new attack of guilt
But you won’t find the answers hidden under your quilt
Scrape through ‘til you breakthrough
And summon the will
To keep going even though you’re running up a hill

I do what I have to do
That might mean low hanging fruit
But when the world’s offering food
Who am I to refuse
And if I don’t know my worth
It’s ‘cause I was taught to know my price

But who has time for
Pride
When tryin’ to stay alive’s got you so damn preoccupied
Above everything
We have to survive

Feeling sort of like a rat
That’s been caught inside a trap
Every morning’s like a lap around a track
Rain pouring at the same old train platform and you could snap
Though every day you just fall in line and act
Like it’s all fine
But you’re tortured by the fact
You hate your job
You wanna walk out or be sacked
Years pass
And all that time elapsed
Int something that you can rewind back
Init mad?
One day you wake up forty five and sad
Mortified thinking there’s more to life than that
You forfeited a fortune for morsals
How many more times must you pay your dues
You shed blood, sweat and well worn shoes
And still you need a job right?
We all do

I do what I have to do
That might mean low hanging fruit
But when the world’s offering food
Who am I to refuse
And if I don’t know my worth
It’s ‘cause I was taught to know my price

But who has time for
Pride
When tryin’ to stay alive’s got you so damn preoccupied
Above everything
We have to survive
