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
