letra de company time - ks joel

[verse 1]
i whistle while i work; never done it different
even when the customers are jerks, and the money isn’t sh-t
it’s another day, another $7.25 an hour
another chunk of time spent trying to figure out how we’re gonna pay the rent
plus the power, plus gas
plus uncle sam and his buddies trying to f-ck me in the -ss
plus food, clothes, medicine, and if i’m lucky, maybe save up a couple bucks just in case of a rainy day
meanwhile, staying sane, thanks to the games we play
making funny faces like damon wayans in major payne
crumple up a receipt, peep the fadeaway
we make ends meet and still manage to keep the pain away
in the kitchen, cutting up on the line
in the back alley grinning, just busting a rhyme
in the bathroom, sh-tting on your company time
if i said this wasn’t any fun, i must’ve been lying
still, the end of the day comes just in time
’cause all work and no play makes tommy lose his f-cking mind
pretty simple, ain’t nothing to it
plus the music helps me through it, and it goes a little something like…

[chorus]
push through the stress and the grind, and take it one step at a time
go home, relax, and unwind; just take it one step at a time
pinch pennies while they nickel and dime, and take it one step at a time
move forward, never pressing rewind when we take it one step at a time

[verse 2]
walking through the waking life, making strides, ’cause the aim is to make it like my dreams
taking time to appreciate what’s nice is the key to alleviate the aches and strife; it seems
like everyone’s an expert on the economy, please!
direct your lectures to anybody but me
yeah, i went to college, and i got a degree
still i’m at the pizza shop, and i’m a father-to-be!
playing background jazz periodically
to big-wigs and fat cats of the bourgeoisie
for free food, plus some cash, hundred dollars apiece
not to be rude, but that’s a water drop in the sea
that i’m swimming in. still, living in poverty beats
a nine-to-five in a box like a colony bee
behind them cubicle walls, i’d always long to be free
no disrespect, it’s just not the best option for me
i need the freedom that allows me to practice my craft
so when i go home, i’m home, not just back in the lab
best believe on deliveries, i’m rapping on tracks
wrote this whole song at work, as a matter of fact, i just…

[outro thing]
(take it one step at a time)
time flies when you’re having a blast
be careful ’cause you might get trapped in the past
the present is a gift, never let it slip away
tomorrow isn’t waiting to become today, we say:

time flies when you’re having a blast
be careful ’cause you might get trapped in the past
the present is a gift, never let it slip away
someday never comes, so get it done today

time flies when you’re having a blast
be careful ’cause you might get trapped in the past
the present is a gift, never let it slip away
tomorrow isn’t waiting to become yesterday

time flies when you’re having a blast
be careful ’cause you might get trapped in the past
the present is a gift, never let it slip away
someday never comes, so get that sh-t done today
