lyrics

A man and woman, one car between them,
They go to work their separate ways.
They’re losing sleep just to keep the lights on
And pay to have more time to pay.

And maybe someday they’ll do better
If they believe in miracles.
And maybe someday they’ll wake up and smell the coffee:
They’re going nowhere.

Employers promise them a living
And then demand that living back
A rat-race there’s no chance of winning
And they’ve only started down the track.

But maybe someday they’ll do better
‘Cause they believe in miracles
Or maybe someday they’ll wake up and smell the coffee:
They’re going nowhere.

And late at night they whisper softly
Where they may end up one day.
They won’t believe that this whole world’s against them
‘Cause they obey the law and pray

That maybe someday they’ll do better.
Maybe they’ll win the lottery.
Maybe someday they’ll wake up and smell the coffee:
They’re going nowhere.
