I get off the couch and try to defend the ways that I measure right
          Em                     Bm                                                              
But I'm a mouse on a wheel, I'll toil and steal
         G                  D
It's the same by the day or night
             Em             Bm                       
You see, the girls want the boys, the boys go to work

Some things will never change

But we're always so out of range

'Cause it'll never save my soul, never save my soul

But I try and I try and I tryyyy

I'm up but I'm late, a curse on my heels I stop when I have enough

I drink to the cause and take the applause but there's too many cracks in the cup

But I try and I try and I tryyyy
