Steve Forbert - New Working Day lyrics

Daybreak has dutifully broken Boy, what a weird book of rules Pressure like this you might not even wish On those locker room bullies at school Life heats up hard in the fire lane Drink nitroglycerine punch Spin a few plates and shake hands with a snake While you're running in place eating lunch Baby, everything's fine if you follow Then you don't get in the way Give us your best and then get you some rest As tomorrow's a new working day, hey Some guys fear capital gains tax Some people more than get by Watching through gates from their seaside estates They're amazed at how hard you still try Keep shifting gears and remember Rome wasn't built in a week An' everyone's wild for a winner's big smile But he's rolling downhill once he peaks Baby, everything's fine if you follow Then you don't get in the way Give us your best and then get you some rest As tomorrow's a new working day, hey [Instrumental Interlude] Live long enough and you're older Then you'll come very far Then you'll be someone's gone probably know something And no one will care what you are Make all of your rounds and keep rolling What good would breaking down do? You say you feel weird an' your faith's disappeared It's probably just some new strain of the flu Listen, everything's fine if you follow Then you don't get in the way Give us your best and then get you some rest As tomorrow's a new working Give us your best and then get you some rest As tomorrow's a new working day [Instrumental Outro]
