I don’t need another drink

Just need to sit here at this bar and think

I’ve been spending my time on this 9 to 5

I’m starting to feel it’s been a waste of my life

I used to say I’d never live this way

Well that gets harder when there’s bills to pay

But what’s the point of putting food on a plate

When Dad’s never there he’s always working late again

24/7 365 always on call every day of my life

Always got 5 bars, always in range

This constant connection’s gonna drive me insane

I remember I remember when we were young

We'd bust our ass till the setting sun

We always knew that those nights were ours

The only thing hangin over our heads were the stars

I don't need another drink

Just want to stop waiting for that phone to ring

The reward for being great at what you do

Is every hour of the day somebody needs you

With new technology we're gettin more work done

But instead of freeing us up they pile more work on

I got my laptop on vacation, It's causing some aggravation

Cause I know there's really no time off when I'm gone

24/7 365 always on call every day of my life

Always got 5 bars, always in range

This constant connection’s gonna drive me insane

I remember I remember when we were young

We'd bust our ass till the setting sun

We always knew that those nights were ours

The only thing hangin over our heads were the stars

Take my wife out on a date, get a call I gotta work

At a baseball game, get a call I gotta work

Fishing on the lake, get a call I gotta work

Anywhere doin anything yeah

I'm just waiting on an email, phone call, text message, group chat

If I'm not there you can reach me on slack

Never time for down time, unwind, my mind, is feeling like it's under constant attack

Everybody needs something everywhere I go

They keep buzzing and beeping they won't leave me alone

It seems like I've taken all I can take

I'm thinkin I might disappear and throw this phone in the lake

24/7 365 always on call every day of my life

Always got 5 bars, always in range

This constant connection’s gonna drive me insane

I remember I remember when we were young

We'd bust our ass till the setting sun

We always knew that those nights were ours

The only thing hangin over our heads were the stars
