I can’t wake up

See me running 'round the corner, move me up into the upswing

Call me undone

When I speak about the truth, I’m only brought up to the downbeat

It’s not easy there

When you feel the wear

Patience brings the tear

Oh, oh, oh

Everyday do you notice that we’re never free?

Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?

Everyday we are running round trapped in our seat

Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?

Pushing paper

I do everything I’m told, and yeah, I do it for the money

Understating

Every action that I take until I know there’s something coming

It’s not easy there

When you feel the wear

Patience brings the chair

Oh, oh, oh

Everyday do you notice that we’re never free?

Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?

Everyday we are running round trapped in our seat

Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?

The messages won’t stop, they just keep pulling at you

Teasing us with the thought that that is something we’ll do

If we could hold the tongue and focus all our time through

We would just rise above this cycle that we’re bound to

Everyday do you notice that we’re never free?

Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?

Everyday we are running round trapped in our seat

Oh, why can’t you be happy with me?
