lyrics

I’ve been working this 9 to 5
I’ve got a place to rest my head at night
But they tax my bed, and they tax my time
They tax my sweat, they tax my mind

But I don’t understand, why I can’t
Play the vicious hand like I planned
Scattered thoughts, I painted them green
Longing for what’s never seen

But I never wanted to stop
Never wanted to be
A prisoner to the clock
In the murder machine

I never wanted to stop
Never wanted to be
On my knees like a dog
Drooling over a dream

Rose coloured with frames of gold
Protected by a planned pay roll
But now you’re suckered and now you’re sold
Saying “when did I get so fucking old?”

But I don’t understand what happened
It’s not as glamorous as I imagined
Scattered thoughts, I painted them green
Longing for what’s never seen

But I never wanted to stop
Never wanted to be
A prisoner to the clock
In the murder machine

I never wanted to stop
Never wanted to be
On my knees like a dog
Drooling over a dream

Waiting for some, inspiration to come

But I never wanted to stop
Never wanted to be
A prisoner to the clock
In the murder machine

I never wanted to stop
Never wanted to be
On my knees like a dog
Drooling over a dream
