lyrics

Warm bed, cold morning
It's raining it's pouring
You're still sleeping, I'm yawning
Don't wanna get up

Gotta be a better way than waking to another day
Running after time, working my life away
Here in the city ain't no pity
You live, you die, in obscurity

No time even to dream
Spend life swimming upstream
Pressure building, won't abate
Keep it cool, negotiate

Smile, smile, put on a show
Play the game and go with the flow
Who's gonna win? nobody knows
Yeah that's the way it goes


They won't let me be
They won't set me free…

They won't just let me be

No they won't..


Tell 'em what is it is when it is what it isn't
Spin another lie, make another million
Monkey, monkey, climb that tree
Get to the top ain't nothing to see

Tree shook, came down squealing
Selling my soul, begging and stealing
In the city there ain't no pity
You live, you die, in obscurity

Another brother chased the dream
Another sucker swam upstream
Higher you climb, higher you fall
End of story curtain call

Time was when I stopped the show
Time was a long time ago
Well I had my time now it's time to go
Hell that's the way it goes

They won't let me be
They won't set me free...

They won't just let me be

No they won't..

Time was when I stopped the show
Time was a long time ago
Well I had my time now it's time to go
Hell that's the way it goes

No they won't...
