lyrics

I'm too scared to quit my job 'cause I like living comfortably
Every day I tell myself I'll buy a ticket overseas

I've spent too long in a real nice house
I've spent too long drinking four-star wine
I've spent too long waiting for the right time

I love buying new shit all the time
I live each day in a complacent lie

And everyone's passing me getting in front of me walking right past and I can't get ahead and they're stepping right over me passing me by and they're getting in front of me getting ahead of me

I don't know how to dig myself out of the ground
I can't put this on anyone else, I've gotta ride it out
I don't know how to turn this flight back around
So I take a final breath and wait 'til we all go down

I'm too sick to work today, I don't want my dreams to fade away
If I practise 'til I die, maybe one day I'll get paid to play

I've spent too long waking myself up
I've spent too long keeping voices down
I've spent too long getting paid to police a crowd

I should know how to make my paycheck last
How the fuck am I still in overdraft
