*** Ten Years On ***

Up in the morning, face the bright sunshine
I wish it were true, but the day just ain’t mine
The past ten years, 'been working nine to five
Going through the motions, just to stay alive

(Chorus):
I'm a stereotype that just said no,
I've had enough of this life, time for me to go
I'm a stereotype that just said no
I've had enough of this life, time for me to go

Stuck in a jam, the same every day
There's millions out there, trying to earn their pay
By the time that I get there, I feel like I'm done
But it’s only Monday morning and the week has just begun

(Chorus)

Then one day, the loneliness got too much
I bucked the system, and I left it in a rush
I got a new job, I’m doing what I like
The pay ain’t much, but I’ve reclaimed my life

(Chorus 2x)
