Some people get up at the break of day 
Gotta go to work before it gets too late 
Sitting in a car and driving down the road 
It ain't the way it has to be 

But that's what you do to earn your daily wage 
That's the kind of world that we live in today 
Isn't where you want to be 
And isn't what you want to be 

Give me one more day (one more day) 
Give me another night (just another night) 
I need a second chance (second chance) 
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right) 

I'll say one last time (one last time) 
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know) 
I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind) 
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go) 

You've got to look at life the way it oughta be 
Looking at the stars from underneath the tree 
There's a world inside and a world out there 
With that TV you just don't care 

They've got violence, wars and killing too 
All shrunk down in a two-foot tube 
But out there the world is a beautiful place 
With mountains, lakes and the human race 
This is where I want to be 
And this is what I want to do 

Give me one more day (one more day) 
Give me another night (just another night) 
I need a second chance (second chance) 
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right) 

I'll say one last time (one last time) 
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know) 
I've got to change your mind (I've got to change your mind) 
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go) 

Just give me one more chance (one more chance) 
Give me another night (just another night) 
With just one more day (one more day) 
You know I'll get it right (You know I'll get it right) 

I'll say one last time (one last time) 
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know) 
If I could change your mind (If I could change your mind) 
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)

New Order

New Order are an English rock band formed in 1980 by Bernard Sumner (vocals, guitars, synthesisers), Peter Hook (bass, synthesisers) and Stephen Morris (drums, electronic drums, synthesisers) – the remaining members of Joy Division, following the suicide of vocalist Ian Curtis – with the addition of Gillian Gilbert (keyboards, guitars, synthesizers). In 1993 the band broke-up amidst tension between bandmembers, but reformed in 1998. In 2001, Phil Cunningham (guitars, synthesisers) replaced Gilbert, who left the group due to family commitments.
