I've been trying to get away, this 9 to 5 has been engraved in us slowly, engraved in us so deep
Go to school and get a job, work 30 years till you can stop, they've controlled me, yes they've controlled me
All these work boots on my feet are getting worn out, these dreams inside my sleep are becoming foreign
That's not what I wanted, that's just what I needed, I didn't really need it, I don't want it at all
How can I move forward, these weren't the doctor's orders, a superficial sentence has no meaning at all
I've been trying to fight this feeling, why can't life just have more meaning, I don't know
I've been searching hard but I can't feel it
Have I been reading way too many fairy tales, or should I be writing stories of my own?
We're all just moving round backwards
We're all just watching the clock, do we clock out?
I wish the nights would move so much slower
Before we nod our hands, they will strike 12
We're all just counting down, our days are running out
We're all still searching for the, the map to get us out
We all work way too hard, we're all in way too deep
We'd better find a way
Before we fall asleep
We're all just counting down, our days are running out
We're all still searching for the, the map to get us out
We all work way too hard, we're all in way too deep
We'd better find a way
Before we fall asleep
