More Than Just Another Day

Punch That Clock

Alarm goes off before the sun,

Another day has just begun.

Coffee black, boots full of dust,

Breaking my back because I must.

Monday steals another dream,

Nothing's ever what it seems.

Giving everything I've got,

Still they say it ain't enough.

Day by day, I'm wearing thin,

How much longer can this win?

Living just to pay the bills,

Trying hard but standing still.

I don't wanna punch that clock,

I just wanna watch it stop.

Working twelve just to survive,

Barely feeling half alive.

Boss says, "Faster!" Bills say, "More!"

I'm so damn tired of this war.

I don't wanna waste my life,

Just to scrape by every night.

Steel-toe boots and aching knees,

Sweat is dripping in the heat.

Hands are cracked, my body's sore,

Still they always ask for more.

Build the roads and raise the walls,

Catch the world before it falls.

We're the ones that keep it turning,

While inside we're slowly burning.

Every scar's another page,

Written by a working wage.

Dreams get buried underneath,

Every overtime we keep.

I don't wanna punch that clock,

I just wanna watch it stop.

Working twelve just to survive,

Barely feeling half alive.

Boss says, "Faster!" Bills say, "More!"

I'm so damn tired of this war.

I don't wanna waste my life,

Just to scrape by every night.

We're not machines made out of steel,

We're flesh and blood, and we still feel.

You count your profits, we count scars,

Wondering if we'll make it far.

One day every voice will rise,

No more living compromised.

We work to live—not live to work.

No one should be treated worse.

I don't wanna punch that clock,

I just wanna break these locks.

No more chains around my soul,

No more giving up control.

Working hard ain't nothing wrong,

But killing us has gone too long.

I don't wanna waste my life...

I just wanna live it right.

So here's to every working hand,

Holding up this broken land.

We'll keep fighting, we'll stand tall,

But we deserve much more than all this.

Until that day, you'll hear us say—

We're more than just another day.
