[Verse 1]

A family man in the midst of

A total breakdown

Seeks refuge in an inebriated state

As he thinks to himself how did

Life pass me by - somewhere down

The line I forgot how to live

Now every day is just another chore

Another day, another week, another year

The world slowly turns, but this rut never ends

One blink of an eye then it's gone

So he puts his faith in the almighty

Lord up above

He's told for all good men heaven awaits

"Well I can't wait any longer when's

It my turn to see the light that'll

Come and take my troubles away?"

Now he spends his days preaching

What he does not believe, to a world

That's forgotten how to live

And he can't understand the empty

Feelin' inside that seems to grow

Every hour, every day

"What's it take to be a man, when

Everything I'm taught I can't believe

And everything is thrown right in my face?

I wake up everyday, I live here amongst

The dead and I am one of them. Is

This how it's gotta be? For you and me

Open your eyes take a look around

Think nice thoughts then

It's off to work I go!"

Now it's back to the hustle and it's

Back to the beat

It's back to another forty hour week

"Soon that weekend will come

I'll get to have a little fun then

It's back to my forty hour grave"

Now every day is just another chore

Another day, another week, another year

The world slowly turns, but this rut never ends

One blink of an eye then it's gone
