Lyrics
Well pardon me friends if I seem to be in such pain
I know you been noticing lately all I do is complain
Not long ago I was known as a man of good cheer
Now a good attitude depends largely on the amount of good beer.
And I'm wishin today that I was out fishin on the bay
It's not that I have any reason to frown
It's just working for a living is gettin me down
Yes this 40-hour living is affecting my dreams
It's enoug to make me want to just stand up and scream
Hey hey hey there's got to be A Better Way.
Yes it's up in the morning fixin lunch inhaling coffee
Off to the line you got to do it or die
All day long you bust your bones to make it to 5
The the boss walks in screamin...OVERTIME!
Well pardon me friends if I seem to be losin my mind
For a man that ought to be commited I'm really doing just fine
I just think its a sin to have to work to accomplish your dreams
When you're not cut out to be a 40-hour-working-machine.
Yes I'm wishin today that I was out fishin on the bay
It's not that I have any reason to frown
It's just working for a living is getting me down
Yea this 40-hour living is affecting my dreams
It's enough to make me want to just stand up and scream
Hey hey hey there's got to be A Better Way
Hey hey hey there's got to be A Better Way.
