Lyrics
Get up, go to work, come home, and then we drink our lives away. Because we spend it all in (Factories) Tell ourselves what almost did, what could have been, but had a kid. There goes my future now but (That's okay) (So I) Do my time at my nine five, no I don't like my wife. No I don't like my life, no I don't like mine. I chose to live my life blind, settled for the simple life. What a wasted life of mine, what a wasted life. In this town, you'll see no pressure, in this town, you'll see no gain. Only dreamers and their (Dreams only) In this town of drunkards, poison flows in, right on through their veins. This is Lincoln said to say (Save me) (So I) Do my time at my nine five, no I don't like my wife. No I don't like my life, no I don't like mine. I'm going crazy, insane, been here too long in pain. I'm turned around, I'm so confused, when will it just go away. Go away x 3. Damn this town, God damn this town, look at us all and look all around. All I see are lost dreams, no future to be found, down with this town. God damn this town. Bar for every church in town, to help forget the message found. And to silence the voices (The screaming). Far too many people with too many problems. Unfocused too long to solve them, get up now (Hurry) (So I) Do my time at my nine five, no I don't like my wife. No I don't like my life, no I don't like mine. I chose to live my life blind, settled for the simple life. What the hell is wrong, what the hell is wrong with you. With you x 3 [Chorus] x 2 (Look away) x 4. From me, yeah (Get up go to work, come home, and then we drink our lives away, because we spend it all in factories, factories) x 4 (Get me outta here, I can?t stand it anymore, I hate you) [Chorus] x 2 (Look away) x 4 (I said to) Look away (you have to) Look away (I said to) Look away (you have to) Look away (from me) From me.
