I’m putting this up simply to use the link in our Music section. Oh well?
Everybody’s got a feeling that they can’t escape
all the endless waking hours of the worthless working day
When you wake up in the morning, you’re already late
and there’s no debate: you’re calling out of work today
Opportunity knocks, misfortune comes right in
And you’re standing in your bathroom doorway wondering
“Who’s knocking?”
“Do they wear brass rings?” until the chorus sings
Run (go on!) before they get to you
Run (go on!) you know you’ve wanted to
Run (go on!) and we could stay up late,
draw up our plans and we’ll make our escape
Everybody’s got a day job that they just can’t take
and long hours barely keep the late bills paid
When you wake up in the evening ’cause you slept all day
The day off’s just a waste of time you should’ve gotten paid
Wake up! you’ve got a lot to do
You’ve got a lot to prove
Who are you to stay in bed, you sleepyhead?
Running in the red, until the chorus said
Everybody’s got a feeling that they can’t escape
all the lives we’ve made
It’s all a sham or a shame
and now we’re on the lamb
Why don’t you run?
Go on.
