Текст с Bandcamp’a:
“Away-0, away-hey-0 take me from this shite that I know
Away -0, away-hey-O, carry me away today-O.
Every day we toil away but we can’t catch the wind in our sails
Get out of a jam but the water o’er the dam,
Keeps coming back it’s too hard to bail.
One day at a time, if I only had a dime
For all the time it hasn’t worked for me.
And it’s such a fine line ‘tween getting ahead and falling behind,
Reality and fantasy.
CHORUS
Life isn’t fair, we’ve got crosses to bare
So go ahead drive a nail just for kicks.
Who are you gonna call when it all hits the wall,
The hotline “There’s no Quick Fix”?
So I raise my glass (half full my ass) It’s looking half empty to me.
And it’s not about the cash, got friends, a place to crash
It’s what’s happened to humanity.
Get away, keep at bay, miss the boat, go astray
Find the place where waters flowing,
‘Cause when the going gets tough (the tough get going)
CHORUS
Tween a rock and hard place, put on your happy face
Act like it’s no big deal
Keep up with the rat race, strike one for the home base
But don’t let them know how you feel
Fit in at any cost and do it like a boss
Be sure to obey all the signs.
If survivals for the fittest then (hand me another Guinness)
‘Cuz I don’t wanna walk a straight line.
CHORUS
