    Lyrics
    Open up one sleepy eye--
    Alarm's been going off a while.
    Not even up, already late...
    Heart attack jump-starts the day.

    Got no clean clothes to wear this morning.
    Hot water runs out without warning.
    Find the keys but lunch forget.
    Drive fast, chain-smoke cigarettes.

    We spend every day between those walls.
    (As) far as we know, the sun is gone.
    Trudge home at night to eat, to sleep,
    Wake up to re-do everything....

    But always wishing we were
    Southbound...
    Don't care where so long as we're
    Southbound...
    Nowhere to get, we're always there.
    Southbound...
    Not coming back, we can't be found.

    Sneak in to work, hope no one knows
    Cause if I'm late again they'll let me go.
    No time for coffee! Think I'm a cursed
    Cause bad things go from this to worse.

    So what the hell is 'quid pro quo?'
    Seems the more they make, the less they know.
    Clean up some witling's latest mess--
    I'm paid to hide their ignorance.

    And we spend every day between those walls.
    (As) far as we know, the sun is gone.
    Trudge home at night to eat, to sleep,
    Wake up to re-do everything....

    But always wishing we were
    Southbound...
    Don't care where so long as we're
    Southbound...
    Nowhere to get, we're always there.
    Southbound...
    Not coming back from that playground.

    Chew on my pen, I try to work.
    Recycled air makes bosses jerks.
    But then you call me on the phone
    And I'm on my feet past all the clones.

    Break through the door-- we're taking flight!
    Won't rot under fluorescent lights!
    Jump in your car, no need to think:
    Umbrella drinks cost tiddlywinks.

    And we spend every day between those walls,
    But listening to that southern call.
    Well, now's the time to take the leap,
    We'll head for freedom in your Jeep....

    And suddenly we're
    Southbound...
    I'll sing our song, you steer
    Southbound...
    We're our own heroes now that we're
    Southbound...
    It's always the weekend here,
    Southbound...
    Cause Monday doesn't come all year.

    Southbound...
    Only one direction's clear,
    Southbound…
    They only think it isn't near.
    Southbound…
    No need to pack your gear.
    Southbound…

    Maybe someday you'll all come down…
