It's not supposed to be like this The rat race gotta cease There's supposed to be some time to k** There's supposed to be some peace I've got a wife and kids in town And all their names I know But I'm just here to pay their bills And hold the status quo CHORUS How I'm doing? Don't ask me I just work here, can't you see? How I'm doing? Oh so so . . . I just work here, I don't know It's not supposed to be like this There's supposed to be some fun The work it takes to make things work Is all I do is run I lost my watch a week ago And still can't find the time To buy myself a new one like that old timepiece of mind (REPEAT CHORUS) BRIDGE Somewhere there's a summer Somewhere things are calm Somewhere there's a way to circumnavigate your palm Somewhere there's a winter Somewhere falling snow Somewhere there's a way away From all those thing you know It's not supposed to be like this It's all too much today It's way too complicating now is all I've got to say The ice cream man is down the block The bell sounds like a dream He's just outside the parking lot but miles away it seems (REPEAT CHORUS)
