Lyrics
Every day I join a million people
As we all go underground
I never see the sun come up
And I never see it go down
I spend all my money just to stay alive
And pay my bills

I don't have time to socialize
I'm too busy with my career
And every Friday night
I watch my TV disappear
Chorus:
Instr. bridge:
repeat from first verse to end.
