  • Am I ever gonna break free?
    Will I ever see what it's worth?
    'Cause you tell me to be happy
    When all I do, all I do is work

    I've been runnin' 'round since the crack of dawn
    I've been makin' rounds, I've been poundin'
    It's been ninety days since I've seen a friend
    Since I've had some time to allow this
    I remember the days with time on my own
    But now there's barely meat on the bone
    Nothing's left, but leave me alone
    All the people I see are just on my phone

    I can feel it comin', I've been feelin' it for days
    I'm out here in the sun, while you're hidin' in the shade
    You follow me around like a monster full of rage

    Am I ever gonna break free?
    Will I ever see what it's worth?
    'Cause you tell me to be happy
    When all I do, all I do is work
    All I do is work

    I've been tryna find some inner strength
    Get back on my feet, keep me grounded
    It's been ninety days since I had some sleep
    Now my dreams got me surrounded
    In so many ways, I've turned into stone
    Numb to the grind, I'm stuck in a zone
    Nothing left, but leave me alone
    All the people I know are stuck on my phone

    I can feel it comin', I've been feelin' it for days
    I'm out here in the sun, while you're hidin' in the shade
    You follow me around like a monster full of rage

    Am I ever gonna break free?
    Will I ever see what it's worth?
    'Cause you tell me to be happy
    When all I do, all I do is work
    All I do is work
    When all I do, all I do is work
    All I do is work

    One, two, three, we all fall down
    We work ourselves into the ground
    And one by one, the clock strikes twelve
    We punch back in inside our shells
    Inside our shells

    All I do, all I do, all I do is work
    All I do is work
