Lyrics

Start your morning, brush your teeth
Put your clothes on, find your keys
Pack your briefcase, check your hair
At the station pay your fare

Late for the train, got to run
Read the paper, crossword done
All these people, all around
Looking sad or feeling down

It’s a standard boring day, every colour turned to grey
Every movement just the same, every day you play the game
No risk, no risk, no risk…..

Hey! Johnny! Turn your life around!
Take a look, you’ve spent your whole life living by rules
On the whole, you’re better disassociating from fools

On the pavement, commuter shuffle
Eyes on phones, shove and hustle
Got to get to work on time
Stretch yourself for every dime

Heart rate rising, not surprising
Pressure meetings keep repeating
Busy diary, people chasing
Dreading every day you’re facing

It’s a standard boring day, every colour turned to grey
Every movement just the same, every day you play the game
No risk, no risk, no risk…..

Hey! Johnny! Turn your life around!
Take a look, you’ve spent your whole life living by rules
On the whole, you’re better disassociating from fools

If you keep a routine, keep saluting, to the targets that you’re shooting
That’s the way to go astray, just too afraid to put the boot in
Time will tell, and toll the bell that checks you out of hell hotel
If you can change, and rearrange your life into a carousel

Hey! Johnny! Turn your life around!
Take a look, you’ve spent your whole life living by rules
Maybe now is the time to find out, what it’s like to be cool

Coming home, a welcome break
Every day a new jailbreak
Your mind is spent, your soul is hollow
Game goes on, same train tomorrow

Same train tomorrow
Same train tomorrow
Same train tomorrow………
