The Lonely Commuter

5am in the morning
the working man rises with a yawning
no, it doesn't make much sense – but
routine is his last line of self-defence
he's tired of toiling his days away
but the schedule keeps him busy, anyway
it's all about keeping a job, not tripping
with a recession economy double-dipping

Bridges and tunnels keep passing by
the lonely commuter
when was the last time he cried
the lonely commuter
look in the rear-view mirror, what do you see?
the lonely commuter
glued to the shift-gear, all you'll ever be
the lonely commuter

just waiting for them to tell you
that you're asked to leave if you don't add value
but you decide to stick to rules to follow
another day, another bitter pill to swallow
high performance is not what makes you stay
so, you're best at sucking up to them every day
strung out and tired at the wheel
and the bridges and tunnels become so unreal

Bridges and tunnels keep passing by
the lonely commuter
when was the last time he cried
the lonely commuter
look in the rear-view mirror, what do you see?
the lonely commuter
glued to the shift-gear, all you'll ever be
the lonely commuter

Bridges and tunnels keep passing by
the lonely commuter
when was the last time he cried
the lonely commuter
look in the rear-view mirror, what do you see?
the lonely commuter
glued to the shift-gear, all you'll ever be
the lonely commuter
