Paint the rising sun any color that you like,
But I can only see a shade of grey
Check the thermostat, I don't know the temperature
I only know that I feel cold today

Dawn is here and dawn is near, but I feel far away
Dawn is near and dawn is here, but I feel yesterday

Showered for an hour, even scrubbed behind my ears
But I can't seem to walk last night away
Blame the alcohol, blame my lack of proper sleep
It really makes no difference what you say

I could have sworn that God himself was on the radio
And when he said you failed again, I said that may be so
But as my manufacturer, you're equally to blame
Repair, replace, refund the cost, but I will have no shame

Can you justify working on a Saturday?
Time and a half won't buy me any sleep
Think I'll stay in bed, pull the sheets over my head
Let my boss leave a message at the beep
