When I wake up feeling faded
Ohh from the night before
A sweet escape from this life again
But I keep coming back for more
But I've got to start the day
Trading hours in for an honest pay
Come home tired, my body aches
Tomorrow it's the same routine
Tomorrow it's the same routine
Tomorrow it's the same routine
All my time it evaporates
Just one less day in this rat race
Seems the more I earn, the less it's worth
Watching bad men thrive while the good man hurts
In this two tiered system, buying politicians
With their euphemisms, but it's just business
And lobbying somehow makes it clean
Just fancy phrasing for bribery
And lobbying somehow makes it clean
Can someone please explain?
Ohhh
Same old routine
Ohhh
Still I've got to start the day
Trading hours in for an honest wage
Bills piling up, can't catch a break
Tomorrow it's the same routine
Oh I'm killing myself but how can I complain?
When I know all of you do the same
Still I'm praying for the day
When the tax man gets his reckoning
Still I'm praying for the day
When the tax man gets his reckoning
Another day
Nothing's changed
Still the same routine
Just another day
Nothing's changed
Still the same routine
