Time's up!

Why must we continue, tell me, why does life drag on?
When all the things we work for, somehow turn out so wrong.
We work from sun to sun and yet, we never get ahead!
When the workday's finally over, it's time to go to bed.
Then get up in the morning, and start it all again...
And still, we sit and wonder, when will this nightmare end?
Someday it will be better! At least that's what they say.
We'll have the time to have some fun, and chase our cares away.
But have you ever noticed, no matter what is said,,,
As things start to get better....that's when you wake up DEAD!
