Distracted by the stations Money and crap and those complications Still I try, and I I I I Got down, but don't know how to do this Oh no, gotta hit the digits I eat I sleep I feel I'm living my life, flat out running, running on the running wheel God knows, I do not to want to do this All work, however I'll come through this For life, for family, for pleasure For now and on and on forever Every time the same Why do I even play? I'm losing at the numbers game Bad sampling. Wrong baseline.

Got down, but don't know how to do this Oh no, gotta hit the digits I eat I sleep I feel I'm living my life, flat out running, running on the running wheel God knows, I do not to want to do this All work, however I'll come through this For life, for family, for pleasure For now and on and on forever Every time the same Why do I even play?
