Day in, day out, it's all the same
It's overrated and mundane
It's overrated and mundane
Pull the wagon and pay the bills (and)
Run in a rat race that kills
Living just for Friday night
Until the Monday morning light
THAT'S ME!
Quickly spending my weekend (so)
I can do it all again
All I know, it's not my wish (to)
Be food for the bigger fish
Run like lemmings to our fates
Into the sea, and it's too late
Maybe once. Maybe twice. Maybe not at all
Maybe I will just sit here and talk to the wall
Maybe I'll just wait here for my long awaited friend
Until the day that I will dare to dream again!
