lyrics

All work and no play
Isn't that what they say they makes for another dull day?
Why bother running?
The rats already won the race

I want to sing with the birds
Don't want to get up early just to eat a worm
And all the money money I earn ends up in someone else's pockets
Nothing left for me to burn

Average Joe and Jane Doe
They tell a tale of American woe
They couldn't keep keeping up with the Jones
Tried to have a big fat slice of American Pie and they choked
It got stuck in their throats

I had my piece of American Pie and I choked
What are you gonna do?

I've got a mountain of bills
I'm calling in ill
Every day feels like Monday

I've got a mountain of debt
And I'm all out of breath
I'm letting the rats do the running

I'm in a bucket
I'm heading to Hell
I'm in the same boat with everyone else

I know I'm just a slave to material things
I'm broke
It's all stuck in my throat
Well, I had my slice of American Pie and I choked
What are yo gonna do?

I'm in a bucket
I'm heading to Hell
I'm in the same boat with everyone else

I know I'm just a slave to material things
I'm broke
It got stuck in my throat
Well, I had my slice of American Pie and I choked
What are yo gonna do?

Why bother running?
The rats already won the race
