Well just wait around 'cause the desperation's kicking in
Yeah its already starting to mix with one of my best pieces of fiction

Does the 40-hour week have you bent at the knees
And you can't even see that everything's kept just out of reachEver get that funny feeling that your future's not going to be bought cheap
And that for sale sign that's hanging 'round your neck might as well spell defeatYeah its already starting to mix with one of my best pieces of fiction
And it's called "I'll be getting by and I'll make ends meet"
