Lyrics Stuck on the treadmill Richard Thompson

 65

Stuck on the treadmill


The money goes out, the bills come in
Round and round we go again
I come close but I never win
Stuck On The Treadmill

Another day of punching steel
Till my arm's too numb to feel
Like a hamster on a wheel
Stuck On The Treadmill

[Bridge:]
Wish I knew a better way
To keep myself alive
Shaking sheets of metal
Every day from 9 to 5
Others may be living
But me, I just survive

Machine's screaming in my ear
Wasn't I just standing here?
Went to sleep, grabbed a beer
Stuck On The Treadmill

Me and the robot working away
He looks at me, as if to say
"I'll be doing your job some day"
Stuck On The Treadmill

[Bridge]

Jobs are going by the score
They're laying off a hundred more
20 years and they show you the door
Stuck On The Treadmill

Strike's coming, trouble's brewing
Whole town going to rack and ruin
Next year, what'll I be doing?
Stuck On The Treadmill

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics STUCK ON THE TREADMILL of RICHARD THOMPSON is also present in the album Electric (2013)
