I was visiting a country that I did not understand, Felt like I was drowning, being swallowed by the land In the workaday, in the workaday I was talking to a woman whom I could not understand, She was loud and she was pushy, she was probably a man In the workaday, in the workaday Make the most of every minute Welcome to it, now you're in it. I was standing at the airport with a very nervous man Said he had to go to Sydney or the deal was through his hands In the workaday, in the workaday I was talking to a singer who was very very wrong He was totally convinced that I was stealing all his songs In the workaday, in the workaday None of us is any badder There you go, you're up the ladder. So right... so cold, Keep on the way you're goin' and you won't get old New dreams... new tears... Droppin' in your forties in the recent years. You can take the power with you so you're never out of touch Makes it easier to deal with those who haven't quite as much In the workaday, in the workaday There's a girl who needs a favour, there's a girl who needs a break There's a girl who's horizontal, it's a lot of give and take In the workaday, in the workaday Make the most of every minute Welcome to it, now you're in it.
