Everybody Works

I'm a good kid
I swear I don't lie
I'll get a job
Turn into one lovely guy

Hey, you're a rockstar
But do you have the time?
Did you pay your way through?
The right place, the right time?

Try to make ends meet
Penny pinch 'til I'm dying
Everybody works

My folks they don't think it's right to be living in a shell
I'll just bite hard on the luck
I've read it in the books
I swear I'll be good

Make a move
Count to ten
Hear the steps
I need a friend

Make a move
Count to ten
Hear the steps

Try to make ends meet
Penny pinch til I'm dying
Everybody works

I'm calling everyone I know
I'm lying on the telephone
My promises were never made
I guess I'll never feel okay

Everybody works
Everybody works
Everybody works
Everybody works
Everybody works
Everybody works
Everybody works
Everybody works
Everybody works
Everybody works

You don't want to see me like this
You don't want to see me like this
You don't want to see me like this
You don't want to see me like this
You don't want to see me like this
