Richard Thompson - Stuck On The Treadmill текст песни

Well our money goes out, the bills come in
Round and round, we go again
I come close but I never win
I'm stuck on the treadmill

Another day, I'm punching steel
Turn my ass too known to feel
Like a hamster on a wheel
I'm stuck on a treadmill

Wish I knew a better way
To keep myself alive
Checking sheets and metal, everyday from 9 to 5
Oh that's meant a living
But me I just survive
Me I just survive,

Machines screaming in my ear
Wasn't I just standin here
I went to sleep, I grabbed a beer
I'm stuck on a treadmill

Me and the robot, working away

He looks at me as if to say
I'll be doing your job someday
I'm stuck on a treadmill

Wish I knew a better way
To keep myself alive
Checking sheets and metal, everyday from 9 to 5
Oh that's meant a living
But me I just survive
Me I just survive,

Our jobs are going by the score
Laying off 100 more
20 years and they show you that door
I'm stuck on a treadmill

Strikes are coming, troubles bring
Hotels going, to wreck and ruin
Next year what I'll be doing
I'm stuck on a treadmill
