One More Day (Open Office)

Music and Lyric by David W. Jacobsen
Copyright 2021. All Rights Reserved.

One more day of the same bullshit
I think I will crack
I long to walk away
Flip the bird and not come back

One more day of the giant assholes
Always it's the same
Reaching back in my mind
Dreaming I could reclaim

Something that is faded
And now I'm too jaded
It's just in a memory
What is lost

Each day it is haunting
Each day it is taunting
It's barely remembered

Who the hell needs this crap
Who want this nonsense
But then I remember that I need the dough

Outside it's freezing
And insides I'm screaming
And if they knew my dreams, they'd say where to go
Just one more day
Just one more day.

One more day of suffering fools
People I despise
Smiling the best I can
Wearing a cheap disguise

One more day of just sheer torture
Where I make ends meet
Playing this game I loathe
Expecting a defeat

Somewhere I'm trying
Somewhere my soul's flying
It's just in a memory
Is it lost?

Reach back into shadows
Where losses can expose
It's barely remembered

Who the hell needs this crap
Who want this nonsense
But then I remember that I need the dough

Outside it's freezing
And insides I'm screaming
And if they knew my dreams, they'd say where to go

Just one more day
Just one more day
Just one more day
Just one more day

One more day of just pretending
That I even care
About more than the cash
It's more than I can bear

One more day of being someone
That I'm really not
But just who I am
I've long ago forgot.

One more day …
And the more and more and more …

Notes:

I was on the fence about releasing this one because it is pretty harsh, but I think we all have days when this is how we feel about our jobs ... or weeks … or months … or …
