Lyrics
Verse 1:
5am is calling
Pounding in my head
It's a cold old Monday morning won't you let me stay in bed
It's enough to drive a working man insane
Life is harder in the faster lane
Oh my my cuts me like a knife
Just checking the time til I
Chorus:
Punch in, I punch out
They got me working early morning til the middle of the night
I punch in, I punch out
They got me working early morning til the middle of the night
Verse 2:
Weekend's gone and I'm late again
Same old haunts and mistakes again
She was fine with her come on eyes
Held me tight while she told me lies
Held me tight while she spent my cash
Time it flies now I guess that's that
So let's roll double overtime
Sell my soul for a dime I'll
Chorus:
Punch in, I punch out
They got me working early morning til the middle of the night
I punch in, I punch out
They got me working early morning til the middle of the night
Instrumental break
Middle:
Caught in a rat trap of dust and steel
Wrapped up too tight in these chains
All in vain
Chorus:
Punch in, I punch out
They got me working early morning til the middle of the night
I punch in, I punch out
They got me working early morning til the middle of the night
Punch in, I punch out
They got me working early morning til the middle of the night
I punch in, I punch out
They got me working early morning til the middle of the night
