Lyrics:
Under Feet Like Ours version:
(On and on and on and on and on)
(On and on and on and on and on)
Had a bad day, as bad as they come
So it’s time to get a real job, you gotta stop having fun
So I get a real job, I’m working nine to nine
I’m making five bucks an hour until the day I die
Got a straw inside of me and it’s filled just fine
Got a straw inside of me with the strongest wine
I’m one third passion but I am two thirds pride
I said I used to have a life once
He said I used to like your smile once
Silence to the world but the stars kept marching
Silence to everyone I said I’m still talking
Have you got some more deep inside of you?
Yes I’ll always have more for me, yes I’ll always have more for me {On and on and on and on and on}
You’ll have to wait and see {On and on and on and on and on}
Got a picture of the way the world has summed me up
If I could have one wish
I should wish that I had never grown up
Got a picture of the way I looked when I was three
I came out laughing
I came out screaming
I came out dancing
And we go on and on and on and on and on
Yes we go on and on and on
He said, have you got some more deep inside of you? {On and on and on and on and on}
Yes I’ll always have more for me, yes I’ll always have more for me {On and on and on and on and on}
I used to be free spirited, but now I’m just free of sleep
I’ve got a burning passion in my throat
I got a burning passion inside me
I got a job that wastes my time and gift
I got a life that needs a serious lift and
All the things I wanted, yes all the things I want
Go on {On and on and on and on and on}
Yes they go on {On and on and on and on and on}
Well they go on and on and on and on and on
Yes we go on, on, on
He said, have you got some more deep inside of you?
I will always have more for me, I will always have more for me
Said, have you got some more deep inside of you?
I will always have more for me, I will always have more for me
He said silence, silence
Silence to everyone, to everyone
Everything at once, everything at once
Everything at once goes, everything at once goes
(On and on and on and on and on)
Goes (On and on and on and on and on)
(On and on and on and on and on, on and on)
This Business of Art version:
Had a bad day, as bad as they come
Time to get a real job, you gotta stop having fun
So I, so I got a real job I'm working nine to nine
I'm making five bucks an hour 'til the day I die
Got a straw inside of me and it's filled just fine
Got a straw inside of me with the strongest wine
And I'm one third passion, and I'm two thirds pride
I said I used to have a life once
He said I used to like your smile once
Singing silence to the world but the stars kept marching
He said silence to everyone, I said I'm still talking
Have you got some more deep inside of you?
Deep inside of you, deep inside of you?
I’ll always have more for me {I will always have, I will always have}
I will always have more for me {I will always have, I will always have}
I take a little more for me, more for me, more for me, baby
I got a picture of the way the world has summed me up
If I could have one wish, I sure wish that I had never grown up
I got a picture of the way I looked when I was three
I came out laughing, screaming, dancing
I came out laughing, screaming, dancing
I used to be free spirited, now I'm just free of sleep
I got a burning passion in my throat
I got a burning passion inside me
I got a job that wastes my time and gift
I got a life that needs a serious lift and
All the things I wanted, yes all the things I want go
All the things I wanted {Go}
All the things I wanted {Go}
All the things I want {Go}
All the things I want go
On and on and on and on and on {All the things I want they go}
Yes we go on, on, on {All the things I want they go}
He said, have you got some more deep inside of you?
I will always have more for me, yeah, yeah {I will always have, I will always have}
I’ll always have more for me, yeah, yeah {I will always have, I will always have}
I take a little more for me, more for me, more for me, baby
He says all the things I want they go
All the things I want they go
All the things I want they go
All the things I want they go
So I take a little more for me, yeah, yeah {I will always have, I will always have}
I take a little more for me, yeah, yeah {I will always have, I will always have}
I take a little more for me, more for me {I will always have, I will always have}
More for me
