New Working Day

(앨범: The American In Me - 1992)

Daybreak has dutifully broken
Boy, what a weird book of rules
Pressure like this you might not even wish
On those locker room bullies at school
Life heats up hard in the fire lane
Drink nitroglycerine punch
Spin a few plates and shake hands with a snake
While you're running in place eating lunch

Baby, everything's fine if you follow
Then you don't get in the way
Give us your best and then get you some rest
As tomorrow's a new working day, hey

Some guys fear capital gains tax
Some people more than get by
Watching through gates from their seaside estates
They're amazed at how hard you still try
Keep shifting gears and remember
Rome wasn't built in a week
An' everyone's wild for a winner's big smile
But he's rolling downhill once he peaks

Baby, everything's fine if you follow
Then you don't get in the way
Give us your best and then get you some rest
As tomorrow's a new working day, hey

Live long enough and you're older
Then you'll come very far
Then you'll be someone's gone probably know something
And no one will care what you are
Make all of your rounds and keep rolling
What good would breaking down do?
You say you feel weird an' your faith's disappeared
It's probably just some new strain of the flu

Listen, everything's fine if you follow
Then you don't get in the way
Give us your best and then get you some rest
As tomorrow's a new working
Give us your best and then get you some rest
As tomorrow's a new working day
