Lyrics

How you spend your time

Reflecting on how time is spent

In the golden years

Considering the later stages of life

The foxes own the highway

Metaphorically, those in power control the path forward

And they hold my tears

Expressing emotional pain or vulnerability

Persona non grata

Being unwelcome or unwanted

And the windows close in

Sense of confinement or limitation

And you catch your breath for

Capturing a moment of pause or relief

the golden years, the golden years

Repeating the idea of a significant period in life


Who left the bath running?

Raising questions about wasteful actions

When they're just hanging on

Alluding to a precarious situation or survival

Who had a job worth something?

Contemplating the value of one's occupation

When they're not banging on

Questioning the impact or significance of actions


Waking up with no purpose

Describing a sense of aimlessness

Just to go to sleep

Highlighting a lack of purpose in daily routine

And the cogs won't turn

Suggesting a malfunction or obstacle in progress

To the devil on the beat

Reference to facing temptations or challenges

And the jokes gone viral (To the devil on the beat)

Spread of humor or information widely

Sucking on a straw (To the devil on the beat)

Engaging in something trivial or unimportant

Threading on a countdown (To the devil on the beat)

Indicating a looming deadline or event

Everyone's in awe (To the devil on the beat)

Observing others with admiration or surprise


To the devil on the beat

Repetition emphasizing the influence of negative forces

To the devil on the beat

-

To the devil on the beat

-

To the devil on the beat

-

Who had a job worth something?

Reiterating the inquiry about meaningful work

When they're just hanging on

Suggesting persistence despite challenges

Who had a job worth something?

Repeating the question about the value of a job

When they're just hanging on

Emphasizing the struggle or endurance in difficult times
