Get up out of bed
Drag my head, as much as I'd like to stay in
Just can't get ahead in this life
Well this city is so bad
If only we could pay our bills and our rent with dreams instead
Then we would be so very wealthy

Bartender says I've had enough for the night for the week for the month
Just one more drink and I'll go
Just one more and you'll see me no more
One more day in a long line of days
That all look the same
Don't dream too big or you'll just end up disappointed

We can't escape this cage (this vicious cycle)
Living to work and working to live
No rest for us, no time (this vicious cycle)
All work and no play make Jack a dull boy

Oh doctor please prescribe me something to help 
My anxiety is getting worse
The nerves, the nerves, the nerves
Paranoia is setting in, setting in

We can't escape this cage (this vicious cycle)
Living to work and working to live
No rest for us, no time (this vicious cycle)
All work and no play make Jack a dull boy
