Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Alarm clock screaming in the dark again Staying up late spells today's regret Broken down shoes and a paycheck dream But the numbers never cover the shit I need Another round with the same old grind Every dollar’s already spent Before it ever even hits my line [Pre-Chorus] Running in circles, pushed to extremes Yeah the world keeps taking More than it needs But the sun comes up And I do it all again Don't break down, don't snap Amen [Chorus] Work til I snap Then do it again I always come back I do what I can Can't clock out til half past ten Go home, get sleep and do it again It's a poor man's life But I'm still getting it done Just one more shift, one more night [Verse 2] Manager talking about “team morale” While my back feels like crackling rusted steel Every overtime pay promise seems to fades When the rent shows up late, it gets real I ain't chasing fucking diamonds or even fame Just a damn break that never comes But a stubborn heart like mine Won't come undone [Pre-Chorus] Yeah the world keeps turning While I'm wearing thin But the sun comes up And I'll fucking do it all again [Chorus] Work til I snap Then do it again I always come back I do what I can Can't clock out til half past ten Go home, get sleep and do it again It's a poor man's life But I'm still getting it done Just one more shift, one more night [Bridge] Hands cracked open Rust in my bones Some men break Some men just hold I ain't winning Butb I'll get through Tomorrow's another fight And I'll see it through [Final Chorus] Work til I snap Then do it again I always come back I do what I can Can't clock out til half past ten Go home, get sleep and do it again It's a poor man's life But I'm still getting it done Just one more shift, one more night
