work all day long - proherz lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
tommy clocks in at the factory line
same as his daddy did, rain or shine
hands remember what his head forgot
eight hours turning into twelve a lot
he’s got a boat sketch on a napkin at home
sits in a kitchen drawer, never shown

[chorus]
why do we work all day long?
trading our hours for just getting by
something about it don’t feel right
but the bills come due every time
we work all day long

[verse]
maria’s pulling doubles at the diner off route 9
smiling at strangers, saying she’s doing fine
there’s a canvas in her closet, paints dried up
she was gonna be something, but lifе fills your cup
with things that need doing right now, not later on
and later just keeps getting gonе

[chorus]
why do we work all day long?
trading our hours for just getting by
something about it don’t feel right
but the bills come due every time
we work all day long
[bridge]
maybe there’s honor in the ache
maybe there’s purpose in the weight
or maybe we’re just too tired
to ask if there’s another way

[verse]
somebody said it builds character, makes you strong
but character don’t pay for what’s been going wrong
the rent, the lights, the medicine, the phone
the reasons pile up high as stone
and that boat stays paper, that canvas stays dry
and we tell ourselves tomorrow, but that’s just another lie

[chorus]
why do we work all day long?
trading our hours for just getting by
something about it don’t feel right
but the bills come due every time
we work all day long
all day long

[outro]
tommy clocks out when the whistle blows
maria drives home on the only road she knows
