Lyrics

Tripped out of bed, groped my way to the bath
Stubbing my big toe on the register
These 6 o’clock starts got me thinking “change”
cause this nine to five it ain’t no adventure

The last bit of toothpaste falls to the floor
Now what did my boss say not to forget
Maybe it will all come back to me
or today will be the day I regret

Chorus:
Ooh what life still has in store
but that old wolf is prowlin by your door.
Tradin your time for the company’s Hundred Bucks

Took a little longer than it usually does
for the morning shower to get hot
Staring at that shampoo bottles’ label
The images inspired me with a thought

A simple round hut and palm trees lining
a mile long stretch of the beach
A coconut in one hand, a papaya
within a few simple steps of my reach

Chorus:
Ooh what life still has in store
but that old wolf is prowlin by your door.
Tradin your time for the company’s Hundred Bucks

Ooh the way our lives could be
But we collect cheap trinkets just for flattery
Tradin our lives for a Couple A Hundred Bucks
Tradin our lives for a Couple A Hundred Bucks

Decided right there I had just enough
cash in my stash for some adventure
I’m certain when I don't show up for work
The managers’ bound to be censored

Chorus:
Ooh what life still has in store
but that old wolf is prowlin by your door.
Tradin your time for the company’s Hundred Bucks

Ooh the way our lives could be
But we collect cheap trinkets just for flattery
Tradin our lives for a Couple A Hundred Bucks
Tradin our lives for a Couple A Hundred Bucks
