Working
Subway trains surge through the veins
Mainline to the heart
Highways pump exhaustion
Into a city bursting apart
Some guy on a caffeine high gives you the finger
And it feels like a fist
You can't hear what he's gesticulating
But you get the gist
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Gunfire is eating up
Starving neighbourhoods
Anger feeds on frustration
Kids are kindling wood
Crushed between where they are
And what they need
Some call it hunger
Some call it greed
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
9 to 5 doesn't add up to much
You're counting on the lottery
Resigned to not being able to quit
That's your destiny
So mix or match your metaphors
The story's still the same
In this city you don't stop to win or lose
You just keep playing the game
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Every morning you look in the mirror
To see what you've left behind
Your kids call you distant
Before you know it you find that
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Mainline to the heart
Highways pump exhaustion
Into a city bursting apart
Some guy on a caffeine high gives you the finger
And it feels like a fist
You can't hear what he's gesticulating
But you get the gist
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Gunfire is eating up
Starving neighbourhoods
Anger feeds on frustration
Kids are kindling wood
Crushed between where they are
And what they need
Some call it hunger
Some call it greed
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
9 to 5 doesn't add up to much
You're counting on the lottery
Resigned to not being able to quit
That's your destiny
So mix or match your metaphors
The story's still the same
In this city you don't stop to win or lose
You just keep playing the game
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Every morning you look in the mirror
To see what you've left behind
Your kids call you distant
Before you know it you find that
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
Working day to day
Working day to day
Gets in the way
Of things working out like you planned
