9 hours a day, 45 a week, 180 a month 2,160 a year
If you started at 16 that's 108,000 hours of your life
Exchanging your time, for money that's fake
To buy things to eat, and shit you don't need
Distractions galore, and a place to sleep
Trapped cogs in the machine
You're friends and family, are a sweet memory
A slave to your boss
When they're slaves themselves
You’ve been added to the daily grind
You tell yourself it’s just the daily grind
Your part of the daily grind
Our time on this planet, is finite and small
Yet spend so much of it, working for nothing at all
And when you retire, you think the rat race will end
But the cost of life keeps growing
And you're to old to fight
So are you going to spend it as a wage slave
Or stand up & refuse to cave
This is your life, it's the only one you have
Will they work you to death
Or will you curse them with your last breath
For the daily grind
Get chewed up for the daily grind
It's fine honey it's the daily grind
This is the life that they sold you on
This is the life that they sold you on
This is the life that they sold you on
This is the life that they sold you on
Is this what you're here for
Slaving away while the bosses make more
Or will you take a stand and say
I won't be part of your daily grind
It's just another daily grind
Your part of the daily grind
9 hours a day, 45 a week, 180 a month 2,160 a year.
108,000 hours of your life, you fed to be part of the daily grind.
