It's hard, can't afford to stop
Keep on working, till you're fit to drop
Then comes the weekend and my troubles go away
Monday morning brings them back again

No, no, no I'm not satisfied
Can't there be, more to life
I can't see, reasons why

Going steady, have been a while
Ain't ready, not by a mile
I try to tell her that I'm not he marrying kind
She tells me she's gonna change my mind

No, no, no I'm not satisfied
Can't there be, more to life
I can't see, reasons why

I want a place to go
I could go, leave these streets alone
Everywhere you go now is just misery
There's no hope living in this city

No, no, no I'm not satisfied
Can't there be, more to life
I can't see, reasons why
