lyrics

How I hate their faces
In this endless grey morning
Tryin' to escape from their jobs
But they are walkin’ like zombies
I know I look the same
I should do something about it
Another day is passing by
We’re stuck in here like mummies

I’ve never wanted to stay
I’ve never wanted to go
My own way is not on the paperboard
Get money, on your stress
My feelings are not in a drugstore

The choice is hard, harder is to forget
The choice is hard, harder is to forget

We’ve been told for a long time
To be kind and raise a family
Your daughter is a sweetheart
But lately she will hate daddy
You’ve lost some friends
As you’ve entered so many numbers
Why can’t we control our lives?
What a shame oh oh oh

I’ve never wanted to stay
I’ve never wanted to go
My own way is not on the paperboard
Get money, on your stress
My feelings are not in a drugstore

The choice is hard, harder is to forget
The choice is hard, harder is to forget

I’ve never wanted to stay
I’ve never wanted to go
My own way is not on the paperboard
Be well-paid, get sick
My feelings are not in a drugstore

My choice is hard, harder is to forget
Your choice is hard, harder
