From the recording Workin' Like a Dog
Lyrics
I don't wanna wake up
Early in the morning anymore
I don't wanna work for someone else's dreams
And let mine get ignored
I don't wanna leave the house
So don't you come a' knockin on my door
I got a lot of work to do inside this room
And I don't mean doin' chores
Money isn't wealth
Maybe it'll make you smile
Maybe it'll help
But only for a little while
Chorus:
'Cause everybody's working like a dog
and running to the devil
Punching in the clock
and wondering if they're ever gonna
Break away
And live someday
Everybody's working like a dog
Just to make a living
Runnin' to the boss
And hoping that they're giving 'em a
Raise in pay
I don't wanna live that way
I wake up everyday
I don't have to think about alarms
I'm too busy dreaming while there's people out there
Screamin in their cars
I wanna stay up late
Busy while the whole world is asleep
When the night is quiet there's a light on
In this room and it's just me
Money isn't wealth
But maybe it'll make you smile
Maybe it'll help
But only for a little while
Chorus:
'Cause everybody's working like a dog
and running to the devil
Punching in the clock
and wondering if they're ever gonna
Break away
And live someday
Everybody's working like a dog
Just to make a living
Runnin' to the boss
And hoping that they're giving 'em a
Raise in pay
I don't wanna live that way
[SOLO]
Money isn't wealth
Maybe it'll make you smile
Maybe it'll help ya
But only for a little while
Chorus:
'Cause everybody's working like a dog
and running to the devil
Punching in the clock
and wondering if they're ever gonna
Break away
And live someday
Everybody's working like a dog
Just to make a living
Runnin' to the boss
And hoping that they're giving 'em a
Raise in pay
I don't wanna live that way
