Long Day, Short Life Lyrics - Mdc

Long day, short life 

Wake up the kids, kiss your wife 

Watch it go by so quick 

No time to call in sick 

Grow up fast and off to work 

Surprised we don't all go berserk 

Sweat it out in the day's sun 

Time to reflect, you barely get none 

Long day, short life 

Wake up the kids, kiss your wife 

Watch it all go by so quick 

No time to call in sick 

Out of it all, What'd you get? 

A little time to hedge your bet 

Drop dead in a ball of sweat 

Work your ass to stay out of debt 

What do you have to show? 

Goes so quick yet the day is slow 

Kids grow up and out the door 

Stare at the wall and down at the floor 

Long day, short life 

Wake up the kids, kiss your wife 

Were you free? Were you a slave? 

Rush, rush, rush, to the grave 

Now you get old and grey 

Nobody listens to what you say 

It seems as if you're just in the way 

Find yourself counting the days 

Long day short life... 

Hope at least you still have a wife 

Finally you've got nothing to prove... 

Hope it doesn't hurt just to move 

Long day short life 

Wake up the kids, kiss your wife 

Were you free? You were a slave 

Rush, rush, rush, to the grave
