Splitsville - Day Job lyrics

Now it's time to get the whole thing started Shoes are polished and your hair is parted Spent the weekend wondering where the week went Scheming up a better way to make rent Punch the clock (9 to 5) 9 to 5, then you make some overtime (5 to 9) 5 to 9, it's a swindle it's a fraud (it's a job) It's a job, it's a living it's a life (it's a life) It's a life Obligations Eight straight hours stuck here pulling punches Got no time for breakfast brown bag lunches Can't fit dignity into your wallet Can't buy piece of mind with empty pockets [chorus] I'm dreaming dreams so far away I never knew the price I'd pay The price I'd pay To not fade away Still don't know just how the whole thing started End up deep in debt and heavy-hearted Spend a lifetime wondering where the weeks went Gotta be a better way to make rent Punch the clock (9 to 5) 9 to 5, then you make some overtime (5 to 9) 5 to 9, it's a living compromise (get in line) Get in line, it's the best years of your life (it's your life) It's your life Obligations (x4)
