the alarm goes off
it's 6 am
yet another day of work begins
as you get in your car
you drive and wonder "just when will it all end?"
punch in punch out
day in day out
when will you face the fact that you had certain dreams not long ago
but you're suddenly off track?

[Chorus]

over worked
underpaid
same old shit
do you run your life
or does your job run you?

your parents worked their asses off to put you in a better place
but any place you're going is a dead end road
filled with heartaches, headaches, backbreaking labor
and a fire burning under your skin
never let them take your spirit away
always remember that today is your day

[Repeat chorus]
