Holding in a Cough

[Verse 1]

First things first, every second you hate

When the third shift starts and you're forced to stay

Fifty six hours every seven days

Did you see this coming when you graduated?

[Pre-Chorus]

You try so hard, but it's just no use

It's like holding in a cough in a quiet room

What the hell's the point of a raise in pay

Feeling like shit nearly every day

[Chorus]

You're always walking around

It's all the same shit

Whatcha gonna do now

Exactly what I'm supposed to do

[Verse 2]

So give me something that'll get me through

Let me take five minutes, let me break on through

By thе time I'm thirty, I'll be thirty five

I'vе been auto piloting a great big fly

[Pre-Chorus]

And you try so hard, but it's just no use

It's like holding in a cough in a quiet room

What the hell's the point of a raise in pay

Feeling like shit nearly every day

[Chorus]

And everybody around

Is always asking the same shit

Whatcha gonna do now

Exactly what I'm supposed to do
