lyrics

I get up every week day
and then the day starts to run away
I ask him can he please stand still
and he just puts his hand up in my face

soon as I get out of the shower
I'll be workin' up a boilin' sweat
can't nobody tie the day down
he's always one step ahead
i'm always

catchin' up - yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (x4)

by the time noon o'clock comes
he say I isn't even half done
I say but look at what I did do
he says all your shit is just past due

it ain't just time that he swallows
he's eating up my mind and my morals
if I try to start a movement
here he comes to disprove it

don't like just where this day is headed
it forever never-ending
if I could only get this day done
I might have better luck with the next one

catchin' up - yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (x4)

you know that time ain't no illusion
'cause it's givin' us all a contusion
and as soon as we're on the mend
he knocks us down all over again

it's a constant state of catchin' up with everyday
