Everyday I come home in my work clothes
Fed up with myself, dreams sit on the shelf
By the evening time I've spent my mind
It's the price you pay, day in day out for a wage
On and on and on
Now the weekend is here
So your fears disappear
Why worry about tomorrow?
Before tonight has been swallowed
It's like worrying about rain on a sunny day
And now the boys they're trying to find
The answers in the bottom of a glass
And the girls are left with tears and question marks
And the low is slow and high is fast
How long will this last?
How long will this go on?
I'm stuck in a rut but I ain't no junkie
If you pay peanuts then you get monkeys
Is this how the hamster feels?
Stuck on its hamster wheel
I lost my place running in that rat race
And now the boys they're trying to find
The answers in the bottom of a glass
And the girls are left with tears and question marks
And the low is slow and high is fast
How long will this last?
How long will this go on?
