Long Day, Short Life

Lyrics

[Chorus] You get a long day, short life Wake up the kids, kiss your wife Watch it all go by so quick No time to call in sick [Verse 1] You grow up fast, you're off to work Surprised you don't go berserk Sweat it out in the day's sun Time to reflect, you barely get none [Chorus] Long day, short life Wake up the kids, kiss your wife Watch it all go by so quick No time to call in sick [Verse 2] And out of it all, what'd you get? A little time to hedge your bet Drop dead in a ball of sweat Work your ass off to stay out of debt [Bridge] And what do you have to show? Goes so quick yet the day is so slow Kids grow up and out the door Stare at the wall and down at the floor [Chorus] Long day, short life Wake up the kids and kiss your wife Were you free? Were you a slave? Rush, rush, rush to the grave [Verse 3] Now you get old, then you get gray Nobody listens to what you say It seems as if you're just in the way You find yourself counting the days [Verse 4] Long day, short life Wake up your kids and kiss your wife Were you free? Were you a slave? Rush, rush, rush to the grave
