Lyrics
Waking up in the morning at a quarter past five, Before the sunrise to stretch the mind
Starting the day early at 5:15 AM, preparing the mind before sunrise.
Ride to work to begin the grind, got to find a way to unwind
Commute to work, beginning the daily grind, seeking a way to relax.
Got no recourse, we got no time, ain't got no fancy deal to cross the line
No alternative, limited time, no special privileges to cross boundaries.
Don't drink and smoke, don't watch it on the tv, looking out for that piece of clarity
Avoiding vices (drinking, smoking, TV) for mental clarity.
Try to give a little more each night, but it all gets too much
Striving to give more each night but feeling overwhelmed.
Gonna make a fight or flight, it's never enough
Considering a fight or flight response, feeling insufficiency.
Doing, doing the hard yards. We are doing, doing the hard yards
Emphasizing the effort put into challenging tasks (hard yards).
Your aching body on a slippery track, You lose your grip but you don't turn back
Describing physical challenges, not giving up despite difficulties.
Using all you have to make it through the day, hold the pieces up when they break
Utilizing all resources to cope with daily struggles, holding on when things break.
Divide your time to amplify, time to provide for the good, good life
Managing time effectively for a fulfilling life.
I drink, and smoke, go swimming out in the sea, looking out for that piece of clarity
Contrast to earlier abstinence, now indulging in vices for clarity.
Try to give a little more each night, but it all gets too much
Continuing efforts to give more nightly, facing overwhelming challenges.
Gonna make a fight or flight, it's never enough
Contemplating a decisive action, feeling persistent inadequacy.
Doing, doing the hard yards. We are doing, doing the hard yards
Reaffirming commitment to enduring difficult tasks.
We got to unwind, could we just unwind? If I had some time, just you and I
Expressing a desire to relax and unwind, if given the opportunity.
Slow life, If we had some time, could we just unwind, just you and I?
Yearning for a slower pace of life, suggesting shared relaxation.
I got to keep moving to, got to keep up
Stressing the need to keep moving and keep up the pace.
I got to keep moving to the finish line
Continuing the journey, striving to reach the finish line.
We are Doing, doing the hard yards
Reaffirming the commitment to challenging tasks (hard yards).
Doing, doing the hard yards
Emphasizing the ongoing effort in enduring difficulties.
