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
