Punch The Clock

[Verse 1] Alarm clock bites my head Same old shirt, same old bread Coffee in a cracked white mug Same blue bus, same hard luck Boss man’s talking loud again Clock hand drags through my skin I’m just trying to keep pace Keep my name in this place [Pre-Chorus] Got a bill in my back pocket Got a fire in my chest I don’t need your gold chain promise I need a little rest [Chorus] Punch the clock, punch the clock (working for a living) Punch the clock, punch the clock (trying to keep on giving) All day long, all day long I’m still standing strong Punch the clock, punch the clock That’s how I get home [Verse 2] Hands are raw from the grind Sweat runs cold down my spine Grease on jeans, dust in my hair But I’m still right here Factory light, hard and white Cuts the day to pieces tight I got dreams in a zip-up bag And a heart they never had [Pre-Chorus] Got a bill in my back pocket Got a fire in my chest I don’t need your gold chain promise I need a little rest [Chorus] Punch the clock, punch the clock (working for a living) Punch the clock, punch the clock (trying to keep on giving) All day long, all day long I’m still standing strong Punch the clock, punch the clock That’s how I get home [Bridge] One more day, one more run One more dawn before I’m done If the whole world wants a piece It won’t take my peace [Chorus] Punch the clock, punch the clock (working for a living) Punch the clock, punch the clock (trying to keep on giving) All day long, all day long I’m still standing strong Punch the clock, punch the clock That’s how I get home
