lyrics

Verse 1
Go to work each morning
Hope for something new
Oh, go to work each morning
To ward away my blues
But workin’ ain’t as easy as one may think it is
With my supervisor, Mr. Monetizer
In the morning, oh each morning, I go to work in the morning
Verse 2
I get home each evening
Yearnin’ for to rest
Oh, I get home each evening
Feel I did my best
But hell to pay tomorrow will surely be a test
With my supervisor, Mr. Monetizer
In the evening, oh in the evening, I come home in the evening
Chorus
I just want to run free, no schedule at all
I've been workin’ so hard, I need some time to relax
(x1)
Verse 3
One day I’ll find freedom
Freedom is my goal
Oh, one day I’ll find freedom
Freedom for my soul
Freedom don’t cost money, it surely can’t be bought
From my supervisor, Mr. Monetizer
I’ll find freedom, oh sweet freedom, oh I’ll find freedom
Verse 4
Mothers teach your children
How to read and write
Oh, mothers teach your children
To stand up for their rights
'Cuz it won’t be too long till they’ll be working day and night
For my supervisor, Mr. Monetizer
Chorus
They'll just want to run free, no schedule at all
They'll be workin’ so hard, they'll need some time to relax
(x1)
