"I Just Work Here" lyrics

"I Just Work Here"

It's not supposed to be like this
The rat race gotta cease
There's supposed to be some time to kill
There's supposed to be some peace

I've got a wife and kids in town
And all their names I know
But I'm just here to pay their bills
And hold the status quo

How I'm doing? Don't ask me
I just work here, can't you see?
How I'm doing? Oh so so...
I just work here, I don't know

It's not supposed to be like this
There's supposed to be some fun
The work it takes to make things work
Is all I do is run
I lost my watch a week ago
And still can't find the time
To buy myself a new one like that old timepiece of mind

How I'm doing? Don't ask me
I just work here, can't you see?
How I'm doing? Oh so so...
I just work here, I don't know

Somewhere there's a summer
Somewhere things are calm
Somewhere there's a way to circumnavigate your palm
Somewhere there's a winter
Somewhere falling snow
Somewhere there's a way away
From all those thing you know

It's not supposed to be like this
It's all too much today
It's way too complicating now is all I've got to say
The ice cream man is down the block
The bell sounds like a dream
He's just outside the parking lot but miles away it seems

How I'm doing? Don't ask me
I just work here, can't you see?
How I'm doing? Oh so so...
I just work here, I don't know
