Routine

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
