The Daily Grind

Well I know I'm not the only one

Worse off than they thought they'd be

But I was recently told

How the sums add up

It's funny how I didn't see

It's because I bought a coffee

It's because I bought a coffee

That's why I'm on the breadline, sure sign

I'm going to lose

It's because I bought a coffee

Flavoured caramel and toffee

It's because I bought a coffee that I'm still broke

Singing the blues

I like a cup of Joe with a little bit of froth in

That's why I'll be working 'til they put me in a coffin

I just can't escape from the daily grind

I knew there was a reason why I couldn't ever prosper

I'd be in Puerto Rico if I hadn't been to Costa

It's chocolate syrup lattes that made me blind

It's because I bought a coffee

It's because I bought a coffee

That's why I'm on the breadline, sure sign

I'm going to lose

It's because I bought a coffee

Flavoured caramel and toffee

It's because I bought a coffee that I'm still broke

Singing the blues

I really can't believe that I was such a silly sausage

I bought a frappuccino when I could have bought a cottage

Someone stop me now, 'cause I'm out of control

Oh it's a wonder no-one tried to break it to me gently

I got a double shot and now I can't afford a Bentley

'Cause all those ground up beans, really take their toll

Still it's nice to know the trouble's not with wages or inflation

The economic struggles with an ageing population

The cost of student debt is not a real consideration

Baristas are the devil

It's because I bought a coffee

It's because I bought a...

That's why I'm on the breadline, sure sign

I'm going to lose

It's because I bought a coffee

Flavoured caramel and toffee

It's because I bought a coffee that I'm still broke

Singing the blues

It's because I bought a coffee that I'm still broke

Singing the blues

It's because I bought a coffee that I'm still broke

Singing the blues
