Get out of bed and put on a uniform;
drink a dozen cups of coffee
work in the rain until the sun comes up;
head to the university
sit in a desk for an hour try to look awake;
try to keep my notes on the lines
another shot of espresso 'cause I'm fading fast;
trying not to lose my mind
Verse Two:
Put on another layer of deodorant;
splash some water on my face
go back to class and work on my degree;
so I can work at a better place
then go back to work so I can pay my bills;
and have enough left over to eat
take off my uniform and untie my boots;
take a minute to rest my feet
Verse Three:
Read another chapter while I'm half asleep;
try to write another page
finally in bed but now I can't sleep;
overcome with rage
get an hour of sleep before the neighbors
stomp up the stairs and slam the door
get back out of bed put on a uniform;
and head back out for some more
