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 lie

[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
