Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Clock hits nine
Same old ceiling tiles
Cheap suit
Coffee breath
Fake customer smiles
Stapled to this swivel chair
Counting clicks
Not years
Paste on that "how can I help?"
While my real life steers
[Chorus]
I punch in so I can punch out
Work all week just to scream and shout
Dead end job
But it pays for the show
I sell my days so my nights can glow
I punch in so I can punch out (hey!)
Trade my time for a taste of loud
If this is hell then at least I know
I’m buying back my soul at the front row
[Verse 2]
Boss man's speech
About "family" and "grind"
He’s got a house on the hill
I’ve got overtime
But Friday hits
And I’m gone by five
Thrift store jacket
Bus downtown
Yeah
That’s when I’m alive
[Chorus]
I punch in so I can punch out
Work all week just to scream and shout
Dead end job
But it pays for the show
I sell my days so my nights can glow
I punch in so I can punch out (oh yeah!)
Trade my time for a taste of loud
If this is hell then at least I know
I’m buying back my soul at the front row
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m stuck
Maybe I’m free
Got a wrist stamped X
And a balcony seat
Hands in the air
Beer on my shoes
Lose my voice
Like I got to choose
[Chorus]
I punch in so I can punch out
Work all week just to scream and shout
Dead end job
But it pays for the show
I sell my days so my nights can glow
I punch in so I can punch out (hey! hey!)
Trade my time for a taste of loud
If this is hell then at least I know
I’m buying back my soul at the front row

Style
rock, Fast, scrappy ska-punk with male vocals; offbeat guitar chops locking with a bouncy bass, splashy live drums, and bright, brassy horn stabs. Verses stay tight and punchy, vocals half-shouted, half-sung; chorus explodes with gang shouts, big singalong hook, and horn unisons. Brief breakdown drops to bass, hats, and chant before a final full-band sprint outro., ska punk
