City of the Dead Lyrics

Wake up

Go to work

Go home

Go to bed

Sometimes on the weekends watch a game

I don't remember life before this city of the dead

A place like this can take away your name

I did everything they told me to when I was growin' up

I got good grades and never missed a class

I graduated high school, and I went for my degree

And every single test you know I passed

I thought that I'd be happy if I got the right career

I'd get ahead if I always give my best

I'd find a wife and children and a house with a garage

If I worked a little harder than the rest

Wake up

Go to work

Go home

Go to bed

Sometimes on the weekends watch a game

I don't remember life before this city of the dead

A place like this can take away your name

Nowadays I come to work and occupy a chair

It's hard to focus on the task at hand

It doesn't seem to matter, no matter what I do

And that hourglass is runnin' outta sand

The boss don't seem to notice much, he checked out long ago

And management's a ghost no one can see

Whatever corporate spirit this company once had

It's a fairy tale that no one still believes

Wake up

Go to work

Go home

Go to bed

Sometimes on the weekends watch a game

I don't remember life before this city of the dead

A place like this can take away your name

The cost of livin's risin' while we're spinnin' all our wheels

My paycheck is a joke where no one laughs

I used to take vacations just to get a little break

But now I pray to get time and a half

This city is a prison, it's a special kinda hell

A thing that sucks your soul out through your chest

I feel like I'm a zombie that's been trapped inside a maze

Like a nightmare that won't ever let me rest

Wake up

Go to work

Go home

Go to bed

Sometimes on the weekends watch a game

I don't remember life before this city of the dead

A place like this can take away your name
