Lyrics
I wake up sweating the same time every night
And it’s always the same bad dream
One of these days I ain’t gonna wake up
So afraid of what might have been
It’s not as if I’m running away from something
It’s more like I’m standing still
Contemplating whether to try and escape
And I just wonder if I ever will
I’m gonna fight it and beat it, milk it and squeeze it
Bleed every little drop dry yeah
Use it, abuse it, and win it and lose it
Gonna live it ‘til the day, the day that I die
And Craig left for the other side of the big bad world
And Gray, well he just went away
Annie my sweet love left to make it in the smoke
Someday soon, maybe I’ll do the same
And fortune so they say always favours the brave
But you gotta, gotta, gotta have something to stand up to
I know there’s more to life than just being alive
It’s a crime, 9 to 5, it’s a fucking zoo
I’m gonna fight it and beat it, milk it and squeeze it
Gonna bleed every little drop dry yeah
Gonna use it, abuse it, and win it and lose it
Gonna live it ‘til the day that I die
Gonna fight it and beat it, and milk it and squeeze it
Bleed every little drop dry yeah
Gonna use it, abuse it, and win it and lose it
Gonna live it ‘til the day, the day that I die
The day that I die…
