Wake up a minute before the clock rings
Have 4 proper caloric crappy meals
Get dressed an ugly unpolluted wear
Now all your stupid basic needs are covered…
But it's a gift
Work 8 full hours somewhere you don't fit
Don't think your salary is probably unreal
Stop for lunch, don't get used, you're a slave
Greatest men may usually feel like dickheads…
But it's a gift
You go through your life without wondering why
Like a spectre repeating the same loop
Break loose to see the greatest gift you have
Is being able to follow your own rules
Your tough work's over, it's time to run from here
Go to see your mum, she needs you to heal
Return home, you're KO but don't you care
Your bed is waiting for you, your best friend…
It's a gift
You're exhausted, forget 'bout sports, watch TV
Forget your few friends, they're not what you need
Keep your chastity, don't think about girls
Never forget people haven't been fair...
Is it really a gift?
You go through your life without wondering why
Like a spectre repeating the same loop
Break loose to see the greatest gift you have
Is being able to follow your own rules
Damn…
Burn that damned suit, don't even set the alarm,
Wake when your head hurts from sleeping so much
Eat like a peckish pig and go for a run,
Enjoy listening to your favourite bands
Get out of your cave, hang out with your friends
Dare to phone and date that beautiful girl
By the way, excuse me, we haven't met yet
So pleased to meet you, I'm your moral sense
You go through your life without wondering why
Like a spectre repeating the same loop
Break loose to see the greatest gift you have
Is being able to follow your own rules
You go through your life without wondering why
Like a spectre repeating the same loop
Break loose to see the greatest gift you have
Is being able to follow your own rules
