Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Passing the time on the train at night
I'll talk to the friends in my head sometimes
Watch a mother of four hit her kids for crying
Then forget to get off that train in time
[Verse 2]
Do you notice the people who notice you?
Or do you stare at your shoes all the way to Waterloo?
Forgetting your headphones at home again
While heading back from a job that'll pay your rent
[Verse 3]
I wish I was doing something important
And making something of myself
I wish I was famous, but then again
I'd still be paying my rent
[Verse 4]
I know I'm not alone
And I know you know what I mean
How's your self-esteem?
Did you get enough sleep?
[PreChorus]
Do you notice the people who notice you?
Or do you stare at your shoes all the way to Waterloo?
Forgetting your headphones at home again
While heading back from a job that'll pay your rent
[Chorus]
Well, aren't you sick of these moments?
Where the hell is my paycheck?
Why the hell am I still craving momentary abyss?
Well, aren't you sick of these moments?
Where the hell is my paycheck?
Why the hell am I still craving this?
[PreChorus]
Do you notice the people who notice you?
Or do you stare at your shoes all the way to Waterloo?
Forgetting your headphones at home again
While heading back from a job that'll pay your rent
[Chorus]
Well, aren't you sick of these moments
Where the hell is my paycheck?
Well, aren't you sick of these moments
Where the hell is my paycheck?
Well, aren't you sick of these moments
Where the hell is my paycheck?
Well, I'm sick of these moments
Where the fuck is my money, man?
