When the day breaks the head aches
From all the static of another re-run day
When doing nothing makes me tired, Doing something gets me wired
And 400 milligrams is never enough
So run the water start the coffee, get these cloths off me
And press my head against the cool tile wall
10 minutes later in the rain, I’ve got to catch this southbound train
or my job will be on the line again
It’s this caffeine culture
that gets me up and wears me out
and keeps us in that mindset of there’s nothing more out there for us
I can’t passively wait
for something better to find me
I’m a Fighter I’m a fighter
I will knock you out in the second round
I will hold my ground, never back down
I’ve got to wake up, got shape up
take my coat off and run my punch card
head out onto the floor, I don’t want this life any more
because I feel like I have so much more to offer than this
It’s our kind, yeah we’re part time,
which mean no benefits or sick days
stare blankly at the screen, close my eyes and start to dream
but this dreaming is just a distraction, time to take some action
