    Story Behind the Song
    This has been our opening song at a few hundred gigs.. It kind of set the tone for the rest of the night.

    Lyrics
    Work all day
    Being the bread winner.
    Go to church on Sunday
    and pray for the sinners.
    Ridin in your car pool
    with the other young exec's
    Discussin your investments and
    right wing politics.

    What ya gonna do, when its all up to you
    and you ain't got time to take a breath,
    gonna workyourself to death

    The wife upstairs is sleeping
    and the kids downstairs are getting high.
    And there you sit with your
    take home work.
    Watch the world go by.
    Pick of the crop,
    top of the heap.
    How ya gonna make it boy
    getting two hours sleep.


    What ya gonna do, when its all up to you
    and you ain't got time to take a breath,
    gonna workyourself to death

    You's sell your soul
    for an hour to yourself.
    But you don't have permission
    cause your ass belongs to someone else.
    Sooner or later
    The other shoe will drop
    It will be too late then
    to turn back.
    Too far gone to stop.


    What ya gonna do, when its all up to you
    and you ain't got time to take a breath,
    gonna workyourself to death
