I wake up to a grinding daynIn a grinding week, in a grinding monthnIn a grinding year, grinding awaynnThe daily grind is grinding menI just go to work then I go back homenAnd I try to sleep and I go to work againnnI'm waiting for my life to beginnWaiting for something to believe innnMy daydream, it was just so realnThere I am on stage singing in my bandnFor some crazy fans, I'm as tough as steelnnAnd that is what I thought was realnIt's amazing how you can fool yourselfnAnd believe these things when you dread each daynnI'm waiting for my life to beginnWaiting for something to believe innnGrinding on through restless sleepnWhere my mind repeats, repeatsnGrinding on and on and onnWhere has my precious life gone?nnGrinding awaynGrinding all my life awaynGrinding awaynI must start my life todaynnI'm waiting for my life to beginnWaiting for something to believe innnI'm waiting for my life to begin
