Got bills piled up with a stamp says "Late,"
Won't hurt the collectors to wait another day.
Slip some bourbon in my coffee and I put my shades on,
Walk down the street and take in a little sun.
All work 'n' no play makes a bright man fade,
I put in my hours but I don't get paid.
I've been burning both ends 'n' feelin' kinda strung,
I got plenty to do but it ain't gettin' done.
No food in the kitchen and the laundry's pilin' up,
my hair's gettin' long and the grass needs cut.
I slept in late, time's slippin' away,
I always finish what I start so I'll waste away the day.
All work 'n' no play makes a bright man fade,
Oh, I put in my hours but I don't get paid.
I've been burning both ends 'n' feelin' kinda strung,
I got plenty to do but it ain't gettin' done.
I close my eyes for a while, let my mind drift away,
I'll rest easy knowin' my toils 'll be here when I wake...
All work 'n' no play makes a bright man fade,
I put in my hours but I don't get paid.
I've been burning both ends 'n' feelin' kinda strung,
I got plenty to do but it ain't gettin' done.
All work 'n' no play makes a bright man fade,
Oh, I put in my hours but I don't get paid.
I've been burning both ends 'n' feelin' kinda strung,
I got plenty to do but it ain't gettin' done.
