You won't catch me, working 9 til 5, the rat race, the grind
And you keep them suits and them boots, you can keep them 4 wheel drives
You can keep them penthouse views and I'm flowing with the tides
They got you hook, line and sinker
Oh well it's horses for courses, but I ain't no mule
Don't want no fat cat kickin in my stall when I'm trying to play it cool
You can keep those trophy wives you can keep you disingenuous friends
You can shake it wherever you like and I'm heading round the bend
They got you hook, line and sinker
When you gonna take the time to see
Well you got everything you want and nothing you need
The things you been needing you been swapping for the daily greed
When you gonna take a little time to see, they got you hook, line and sinker
So long after sunset, but so far from the dawn, small hours pass
I know it won't be long. Till I'm right, till I'm feeling ok, till the music's running through my veins
Till I'm in the place I long to be and everybody's looking the same
They got you hook, line and sinker
