Lyrics

[Verse 1]
How you spend your time
In the golden years
The foxes own the highway
And they hold my tears
Persona non grata
And the windows close in
And you catch your breath for
The golden years, the golden years
[Refrain]
Who left the bath running?
When they're just hanging on
Who had a job worth something?
When they're not banging on
[Verse 2]
Waking up with no purpose
Just to go to sleep
And the cogs won't turn
To the devil on the beat
And the jokes gone viral (To the devil on the beat)
Sucking on a straw (To the devil on the beat)
Threading on a countdown (To the devil on the beat)
Everyone's in awe (To the devil on the beat)
[Bridge]
To the devil on the beat
To the devil on the beat
To the devil on the beat
To the devil on the beat
[Refrain]
Who had a job worth something?
When they're just hanging on
Who had a job worth something?
When they're just hanging on
