These days, it's hard to get up
find the change for the bus put my best face forward
And I find my favourite place at work,
in my head, in my head
Yeah nothing's changing
I wear the same thing every day,
No-one noticed when I didn't come in, I walked away with a smile on my face I'm thinking

We've got no money, but we're not lonely
the kitchen's empty, so we'll go hungry
but I had every, thing I needed

It's getting hard, these days
Living tight, these days
I'm getting off, at ten, you won't be waiting there

I'm getting headaches from the lights,
under my desk I think it's alright
I squint to see the text on the screen
the letters fall off and I'm blamed for them missing
We are, We are, in such a hurry to reach middle age
And they say you should know, you SHOULD know,
this will come back to haunt you later

We've got no money, but we're not lonely
The kids are ugly, so they'll go hungry
And I had everything I need,

It's getting hard, these days
Living tight, these days
Getting off, at ten, you won't be waiting there
No, you're never waiting there

Getting hard these days, Living tight these days
Getting off, at ten, you're never waiting there

It's getting by, these days
We're getting right, these days
Getting off at ten, you're never waiting there

Thinking I'm taking right off
Thinking we're already packed
Thinking we're taking right off
Thinking we're already packed

Taking off, Let's take off together
And sing this off together
Let's take this off together
and sing this one forever
