I've been slavin' my mind just to try to find a way out And it's been on my brain just to put the blame on you I've gotta find a way just to make my day a useful one Cause I'm a front row ticket to a nothin' show I've got one free pass just to let me know Hey babe it's a stagnant time But it takes more than that to hang my coat and hat and sleep I've gotta sweat once more till my bones feel sore I tell you why Cause I'm a front row ticket to a nothin' show I've gotta crash this prison and not let go My heart's on a sun cloud screamin' for progress 'Cause I want work I'll keep slavin' my mind just to try to find some kind of light I'm gonna burn this damn ticket and think of tomorrow And I won't live this long life in stagnation no more My heart's on a sun cloud screamin' for progress Cause I'm a man And man's gotta work
