Lyrics

Verse 1:
The day in the life begins once again,
the alarm clock's rocking my poor aching head.
I rise for work in time to catch this train, but my thoughts keep rushing back to the safety of my bed.
Verse 2:
Well, I'm not the lead dog running this race, where the view's the same, and I can't change my place.
Looking out this window life is passing me by; the people on this train I see the same look in their eyes.
Chorus:
And I'm a 100 miles from sundown, just the start of another day. This road I'm on gets long a weary, and I just can't face today. No I just can't face today.
Verse 3:
Head down lemmings just leaving this train, going to their deaths in droves once again. Well, life was not meant to be this hard; working jobs we hate feeling alone and ignored.
Bridge:
Mindless drones marching to the bleat of an unheard fife. Concerned with making a living, instead of making a life. Instead of making a life.
Verse 4
Well I decided to stay behind, a clarion call.
A time for moving on, a time for standing tall.
It's not about the money or staking your claim, it is doing what you love; refusing to play the games.
Ending:
Well this road I'm on gets long and weary.
And I just can't face today!
No, I just can't face today (x2)
