lyrics

The room feels way too cold
And again I was put on hold
so I sit and kills some time
And it's all on the man's dime
I think it's all too much
And I think my salary sucks
It might not be enough
to buy a bigger truck

I'm so hungry at lunch
The value meal may not be enough
Don't wanna go across street
homeless there got nothing to eat
Again I'm hungry like nobody knows.
Another problem comes another goes
Just waiting in my lame clothes until it's time to close.

I sit in here and look outside all day
I live my life in eternal strife
As my life goes and worsens
I just wish I could be another person

The air here is way too hot
Try to be thankful for what I've got
Gotta get up before the sun
Or all the work will all be done
I think it's all too muc.
For what I do this pay is bad
It might not be enough
to help my mom and dad

Siblings haven't eaten in week.
Parents have to beg on the streets
The tourists help when they can.
But that's no kind of life for a man
Again I'm hungry like nobody knows.
Another problem comes another goes
Just happy for these shoes and clothes.
Keep following where the jobs go

I sit in here and look outside all day
I live my life in eternal strife
As my life goes and worsens
I just wish I could be another person

The sun shines on the day. The Earth spins as it must
The moon slips on its way. The rain soaks the wicked and the just
