The day is short

The night is long

Why do we work so hard to get what we don't even want

Spoken:(We work so hard to get ahead of the game

Work half our lives until we won

And then one day we sit at the edge of our bed and think

Lord what have I done oh )

The day is short

The night is long

Why do we work so hard to get what we don't even want

Spoken:(Man in a suit comes home and kisses his babies goodbye

Daddys gotta go on a trip honey oh no don't you cry

He's gone for a week and then he's home for a day

Well Pretty soon the babys going to cry when daddys gone away )

The day is short

The night is long

Why do you work so hard to get what you don't even want

Spoken:(Now listen to this

You know we go to the mall and we go from store to store yeah

Everybody seems to be wasting time until death walks through the door

And then you look at all your merchandise and you see

We've paid too high a price you'll see yeah )

The day is short oh

The night is long

Why do you work so hard to get what you don't even want

One more time

Why do you work so hard to get what you don't even want
