Tryin to dance

Is it tomorrow yet?
Or still yesterday?
I must have nodded off
I hope that's okay
I lost my list of things to do
Does this kind of stuff
ever happen to you?

I'm runnin' on a treadmill
caught up in the rat race
chokin' on the bullshit
waitin' on payday
livin' on tv
dyin on the back page
and tryin' to dance
with a foot in the grave
hey-hey

Lightin' a cigarette
Is this coffee break?
I've got to straighten up
I'm up for a raise
some overtime might pull me through
you know what they say
it's something to do

I'm runnin' on a treadmill
caught up in the rat race
chokin' on the bullshit
waitin' on payday
livin' on TV
dyin on the back page
and tryin' to dance with a foot in the grave
hey-hey Cut the lace on this tight-fittin' shoe
ship me out in a suitcase
Jesus save me from further abuse
get me out of this place
I've got nothin' to lose

I'm runnin' on a treadmill
caught up in the rat race
chokin' on the bullshit
waitin' on payday
livin' on TV
dyin on the back page
and tryin' to dance
with a foot in the grave

I'm runnin' on a treadmill
caught up in the rat race
chokin' on the bullshit
waitin' on payday
livin' on TV
dyin on the back page
and tryin' to dance
with a foot in the grave

I'm runnin' on a treadmill
caught up in the rat race
chokin' on the bullshit
waitin' on payday
livin' on TV
