Lyrics
Every day is a toil and grind
All it costs is your body and your mind
When I was young my teacher told me a joke
It went what do you want to be
I didn't get it, so I laughed to be polite
As the comic made a note for parent-teacher night
Your sense of wonder in the world goes away
Replaced by fear, despair, and dismay at the decay
Decay
Hahaha
Every day is a toil and a grind
All it costs is your body and your mind
Every night is another chance to fail
Tell us lies, tell us that we might prevail
Some family lived down the street from me
We used to visit every day after school
Did we drift apart when we moved away
Or, was it when I started listening to what they'd say
Your sense of wonder in the world goes away
Replaced by fear, despair, and dismay at the decay
Every day is a toil and a grind
All it costs is your body and your mind
Every night is another chance to fail
Tell us lies, tell us that we might prevail
Every day another chance to make things right
Every hour still alive is out of spite
Every minute spent with you goes far too fast
Every second is bound to be our last
