lirik lagu richard thompson - stuck on the treadmill
the money goes out, the bills come in
round and round we go again
i come close but i never win
i’m stuck on the treadmill
another day of punching steel
till my arm’s too numb to feel
like a hamster on a wheel
i’m stuck on the treadmill
wish i knew a better way
to keep myself alive
shaking sheets of metal
every day from 9 to 5
others may be living
but me, i just survive
me, i just survive
machine’s screaming in my ear
wasn’t i just standing here?
i went to sleep, i grabbed a beer
now i’m stuck on the treadmill
me and the robot working away
he looks at me, as if to say
“i’ll be doing your job someday”
i’m stuck on the treadmill
wish i knew a better way
to keep myself alive
shaking sheets of metal
every day from 9 to 5
others may be living
but me, i just survive
me, i just survive
jobs are going by the score
they’re laying off a hundred more
20 years and they show you the door
i’m stuck on the treadmill
strike’s coming, trouble’s brewing
whole town’s going to rack and ruin
next year, what’ll i be doing?
i’m stuck on the treadmill
