[Verse]
Alarm clock screaming rise up like a slave
Dawn’s early light work's the only wave
Watch the world smile while I'm breaking back
Life's a freeway I'm stuck on the track
[Verse 2]
Boss man's barking deadlines in my ear
Clock ticks slower drowning in the fear
Friends out partying singing the night away
I'm in the grindstone endless workday
[Chorus]
All work no play where’s my escape
Life’s passing by well ain't that great
Trapped in this grind just scraping by
All work no play it makes me cry
[Verse 3]
Tied to this desk chained to my fate
Everyone's out there staying up late
Deadlines and projects no time to rest
Dreams on hold pinned down by this quest
[Chorus]
All work no play where’s my escape
Life’s passing by well ain't that great
Trapped in this grind just scraping by
All work no play it makes me cry
[Bridge]
One day I'll break these chains that bind
Taste the air that's sweet and kind
Find my freedom in the morning sun
Until then just work til the day is done
