Too Late for an Early Grave

Is it too late for an early grave?

Work hard, work hard, never paid

Never climbed the charts

Destroyed the stage

Brushed with fame

Or joined the hit parade

Well, maybe the lower rung back in the day

It's too late

It's too late

Beat down again

No wonder you're afraid

They can throw you away

If you don't work every day

If you're sick, well, that's okay

Make sure you punch the clock anyway

Overcome with Puritan shame

You better arrive on time next time

To play the game

And nothing ever changed

No reward to end the day

Never climbed the charts

Destroyed the stage

Brushed with fame

Or joined the hit parade

From the cradle to the grave

We all caved

No one was saved

From the cradle to the grave

No one was saved

No one was saved
