Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Alarm scream
6:04
Miss the button
Hit the floor
Same stained mug
Same cheap brew
Same cracked mirror judging you
Shoes by the door
Laces torn
Lunch in a bag
Dreams still warm
Bus stop wind cuts through my coat
Got hope on layaway and store credit notes
[Chorus]
I get up
I go to work (every day, every day)
Cost goes up
Still the same old pay (no raise)
Yeah I’m broke
Yeah I’m tired
Yeah I’m worn and wired
But I’m still here
Still here
Still here
Skank it off and punch the clock
[Verse 2]
Boss man grins
“we’re a family”
But my rent’s past due
Is that a joke to me?
Gold plate name on his big glass door
My name tag’s bent
Dragging on the floor
Stack those forms
Smile on cue
“Happy to help!” when I’m turning blue
Take one break
Blink
Then back
Dreams on hold in the bottom of the snack rack
[Chorus]
I get up
I go to work (every day, every day)
Cost goes up
Still the same old pay (no raise)
Yeah I’m broke
Yeah I’m tired
Yeah I’m worn and wired
But I’m still here
Still here
Still here
Skank it off and punch the clock
[Bridge]
[Band drops to bass and drums]
If my time is all I own
Why’s it leased out by the hour?
If my life is just this line
I’ll turn this grind into a shower of power (hey!)
[Chorus]
I get up
I go to work (every day, every day)
Cost goes up
Still the same old pay (no raise)
Yeah I’m broke
Yeah I’m tired
Yeah I’m worn and wired
But I’m still here
Still here
Still here
Skank it off and punch the clock
[Outro]
Still here
Still here (oh yeah)
Too tired to quit
Too proud to stop
So I skank
Skank
Skank
All the way to the clock
