This living from hand to mouth gets me down
The future's always in doubt
Nothing to do but sit and wait for fortune
To turn my frown upside down
Monday comes and I am off to earn a paycheck
I'm glad to be fed
But workin for the bossman's something I don't understand
I never seem to get ahead
You know it's not long 'til the money's gone
It's never long 'til the money's gone
You know it's not long 'til the money's gone
It's never long 'til the money's gone
I'm losing touch with the little child
He ran away
'Cos I'm selling my soul and shutting down 'til Friday
I'm so afraid
You know it's not long 'til the money's gone
It's never long 'til the money's gone
You know it's not long 'til the money's gone
It's never long 'til the money's gone
You know it's not long 'til the money's gone
It's never long 'til the money's gone
You know it's not long 'til the money's gone
It's never long 'til the money's gone
I feel chained like a slave - oh, do you understand?
Do you see the things I see
I wanna leave it in the dust, why don't you and I just
Run away and let it be?
