Working

Subway trains surge through the veins Mainline to the heart Highways pump exhaustion Into a city bursting apart Some guy on a caffeine high gives you the finger And it feels like a fist You can't hear what he's gesticulating But you get the gist Working day to day Working day to day Gets in the way Of things working out like you planned Working day to day Working day to day Gets in the way Of things working out like you planned Gunfire is eating up Starving neighbourhoods Anger feeds on frustration Kids are kindling wood Crushed between where they are And what they need Some call it hunger Some call it greed Working day to day Working day to day Gets in the way Of things working out like you planned Working day to day Working day to day Gets in the way Of things working out like you planned 9 to 5 doesn't add up to much You're counting on the lottery Resigned to not being able to quit That's your destiny So mix or match your metaphors The story's still the same In this city you don't stop to win or lose You just keep playing the game Working day to day Working day to day Gets in the way Of things working out like you planned Working day to day Working day to day Gets in the way Of things working out like you planned Every morning you look in the mirror To see what you've left behind Your kids call you distant Before you know it you find that Working day to day Working day to day Gets in the way Of things working out like you planned Working day to day Working day to day Gets in the way Of things working out like you planned Working day to day Working day to day Gets in the way Of things working out like you planned
