I'M NOT A MACHINE

I'M NOT A MACHINE


THE ALARM GOES OFF AT FIVE A.M.
A LITTLE BOX TELLS ME TO RISE AND SHINE
THEN ANOTHER DEVICE SPITS OUT A CUP OF MUD
TO HELP ME THROUGH THAT SAME OLD GRIND
THE SUN'S NOT UP BUT I'M ON MY WAY
I HIT THE STREETS IN A FLAT OUT RUN
I JOIN THE RACE AND IT'S INHUMAN PACE
AND KEEP IT UP UNTIL THE DAY IS DONE

HANG ON
SOMETHIN'S WRONG
THIS AINT THE WAY
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE
DAY BY DAY
DOIN' THE SAME OLD THING
I'M NOT A MACHINE

THE BOSS IS MAD 'CAUSE I SHOW UP LATE
AND HE HAS SOME IMPORTANT THING TO DO
THEN THIS BLONDE SHOWS UP AND HE'S ON HIS WAY
AND THE WORK IS LEFT TO YOU KNOW WHO
SO I GRIT MY TEETH AND DO MY JOB
WITHOUT THE THANKS I'M ENTITTLED TO
TELL ME WHY SHOULD I EVEN TRY
IF ALL IT GETS ME IS A CASE OF BLUES

HANG ON
SOMETHIN'S WRONG
THIS AINT THE WAY
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE
DAY BY DAY
DOIN' THE SAME OLD THING
I'M NOT A MACHINE

Sometimes we kinda feel like we are treated as a machine don't we?
Love the Synthesizer work in this one.
