Daybreak has dutifully broken
|
Boy, what a weird book of rules
|
Pressure like this you might not even wish
|
On those locker room bullies at school
|
Life heats up hard in the fire lane
|
Drink nitroglycerine punch
|
Spin a few plates and shake hands with a snake
|
While you're running in place eating lunch
|
|
Listen, ev'rything's fine if you follow
|
Then you don't get in the way
|
Give us your best and then get you some rest
|
As tomorrow's a new working day
|
|
Some guys fear capital gains tax
|
Some people more than get by
|
Watching through gates from their seaside estates
|
They're amazed at how hard you still try
|
Keep shifting gears and remember
|
Rome wasn't built in a week
|
An' ev'ryone's wild for a winner's big smile
|
But he's rolling down hill once he peaks
|
|
Listen, ev'rything's fine if you follow
|
Then you don't get in the way
|
Give us your best and then get you some rest
|
As tomorrow's a new working day
|
|
Live long enough and you're older
|
Then you'll have come very far
|
Then you'll be someone's gon' prob'ly know something
|
And no one will care what you are
|
Make all of your rounds and keep rollng
|
What good would breaking down do?
|
You say you feel weird an' your faith's disappeared
|
It's prob'ly just some new strain of the flu
|
|
Listen, ev'rything's fine if you follow
|
Then you don't get in the way
|
Give us your best and then get you some rest
|
As tomorrow's a new working day
|
Give us your best and then get you some rest
|
As tomorrow's a new working day
|

New Working Day
