Do you ever get the feeling that you never get ahead?
Working for a sandwich and a shirt so you can say dead?
Did you ever cross the line? Did your life feel incomplete?
When you're running like a dog through the 40 hour week
And you try so hard, you try so hard
But you can't keep up the pace (the pace)
When the paycheck comes and when the bills are due
You could have thrown right on your face
When you scream (they scream) and you shout (they shout)
But you're stuck and you'll never get out
Take me away, anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
Alright, take me away, need to get away
Do you ever wonder why, why your life has passed you by?
You're a slave to the code, but you've never found
The 40 hour block of freedom put you up in a grave
In the American dream, you're the American slave
And you try so hard, you try so hard
But you can't keep up the pace (the pace)
When the paycheck comes and when the bills are due
You could have thrown right on your face
When you scream (they scream) and you shout (they shout)
But you're stuck and you'll never get out
Take me away, anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
Alright, take me away, need to get away
Let's go, hey, let's go, hey
I need to get away
When you're getting off from work
You do the best you can to get your uniform off
But it's like a rubber tag, can you pack your lunch?
And just when the routine justifies itself
When the pay drops just don't mean nothing
Doesn't mean nothing but a money making card
Beats the feeble corporate greed of the corporate fucking slobs
Whose pocketbooks are not for me and you
Just the working class all, what about the blue?
When you scream (they scream) and you shout (they shout)
But you're stuck and you'll never get out
Take me away, anywhere but here
Anywhere but here
Alright, take me away, need to get away
From the 40 hour week
