"These Days" lyrics

I've got the eyes on the prize
Beat the post
And I regret the time
That I'm spending comatose
Heaven knows
Where the day goes

Have put in the time
By the book?
But I'm back again
It's all the same
I'm on the hook
Take a look
In the mirror

Loaded all the time
But I think I might change
These days
These days I know my place
I'll drink all my blood
I'll be trying to sail away
I'll sail
Away again today

Days go
So slow
Oh, no
I can't help but be poor
I can't help but be poor

Tell me with a dime
If I'm doin' this wrong
In my head I can hold it
Like you told me
Let me hold these
Realize

I'll be contemplating
There's no compensation
Hey, let's take a recess
And I know this
I'm a joke, don't
Get involved

Loaded all the time
But I think I like change
These days
These days I know my place
I'll drink all my blood
I'll be trying to sail away
I'll sail
Away again today

Days go
So slow
Oh, no
I can't help but be poor
I can't help but be poor
