If you wanna live you gotta work That's just the structure and the way of the world And I'm trying to stay sane and find time And we're all pushing through in the queue of the daily grind If you wanna live you gotta work That's just the structure and the way of the world And I'm trying to stay sane and find time And we're all pushing through in the queue of the daily grind I spilled a cup of coffee again And felt the urge to scream obscenities, but had to refrain See I was rushing out the door just like I do every A.M. Hop into my RAV and rev through all the mayhem Hustle to my cubicle then head into a meeting I recall the weekend but the memory is fleeting Put my head down and plug away till its noon Quick break, fresh air then its back to resume I swear to God we're being pushed through the motions This routine is colder than how Olaf was in Frozen I, I'm looking up like please give me a sign And I'm thinking of my dreams they glaze over my eyes Because its all about the music, always been about the music I get this anxiety like shit what am I doing Oh, paying bills and perpetuate the cycle Punch in, punch out in the name of survival If you wanna live you gotta work That's just the structure and the way of the world And I'm trying to stay sane and find time And we're all pushing through in the queue of the daily grind If you wanna live you gotta work That's just the structure and the way of the world And I'm trying to stay sane and find time And we're all pushing through in the queue of the daily grind I'm so tired, I'm just so damn exhausted In the Land of the Free, but I'm feeling like a hostage Hands to the sky if you feeling like you lost it Working for the man and the man's about the profit Plotting on the low while I prepare for my escape Let's hear it for the policies and all the red tape Treated like an imbecile and that I am deplorable Horrible, tell me, tell me where did all the morals go? Low pay with even lower self worth So am I, working to live or am I living to work Frequently I hold it in because the misery's unbearable Its broken my spirit so my attitude is terrible Pick myself up and try to pull it back together Got my eye on the horizon and my navigation tethered 'Cause if I'm going down, then I'm going down swinging Raise a toast to myself, 'cause it's only the beginning If you wanna live you gotta work That's just the structure and the way of the world And I'm trying to stay sane and find time And we're all pushing through in the queue of the daily grind If you wanna live you gotta work That's just the structure and the way of the world And I'm trying to stay sane and find time And we're all pushing through in the queue of the daily grind Hey, tell me where your passion lies Surprise me with your inner most desires and let's improvise You wanna get angry, go ahead its all productive Then settle down and make a plan so now it is constructive You control your fate long as your heart keeps pumping Say, "All these naysayers can't tell me nothing" All these naysayers can't tell me nothing On the track to success and I'm full blown running I started asking questions and I'm searching for the answers Guided by this inner light, I hold it like a lantern And if I ever doubt that I'll escape the daily grind I'll just swap out the art to get the right frame of mind So when I'm sitting in my car on my morning commute It may appear that I'm complacent and just following suit And I hold back the urge to turn around and straight bail 'Cause I will never, I refuse to, you won't see me fail If you wanna live you gotta work That's just the structure and the way of the world And I'm trying to stay sane and find time And we're all pushing through in the queue of the daily grind If you wanna live you gotta work That's just the structure and the way of the world And I'm trying to stay sane and find time And we're all pushing through in the queue of the daily grind
