Shiftwork

When I wake up from a little night's sleep

Don't feel too hungry, don't want to eat

Punching in, get it on the job

Try to show ambition, treated like a slob

In my shiftwork, shiftwork, shiftwork, shiftwork

Bring home the bacon, make a little back pay

Because time is money, so the people say

And a penny saved is a penny earned

But the way I go through money I'd say I'll never learn

And there's shiftwork, shiftwork, shiftwork, shiftwork

All night long when I put myself on these things that count

Same old routine puts me in the swing and the tension mounts

If I could only put myself in a brand new start

I could be so happy with straight days

But I keep doing it, I've got to keep doing it, I can't take it away

Punchin in around 12 o'clock

My head starts to hurt from the grapevine talk

Stomachs twisted, got it up in knots

Don't know what to do about it cause I've had my fill of the lot

And there's shiftwork, shiftwork, shiftwork, shiftwork

All day long when I put myself on these things that count

Same old routine gets me in the swing and the tension mounts

If I could only get myself in a brand new start

I could be so happy with straight days

But I keep doing it, I've got to keep doing it, I can't take it away

Then there's shiftwork, shiftwork, shiftwork, shiftwork

It's like shiftwork
