All my friends they rise for work each day
They take the mornin' train
Never running late
Staring at the their screens they fade away
They take a coffee break
Just to stay awake
Don't you know there's more to life
Than working all the time
As the evenings fade
People say we're wasting all our time
Searching for things we weren't meant to find
But that's all we have so I don't mind
People say we'll lose a future sum
For living life while we are young
Well it's nice to say I'm the happy one
Father told me son don't make mistakes
That I have made
Back in my day
But as I look upon his wearied face it
Speaks of all the places
That he never stayed
Don't you know there's more to life
Than working all the time
As the evenings fade
People say we're wasting all our time
Searching for things we weren't meant to find
But that's all we have so I don't mind
People say we'll lose a future sum
For living life while we are young
Well it's nice to say I'm the happy one
(Ooh) I watch em fade away now
(Ooh) I watch em fade away now way now
(Ooh) I watch em fade away
People say we're wasting all our time
Searching for things we weren't meant to find
That's all we have so I don't mind
People say we'll lose a future sum
For living life while we are young
Well it's nice to say I'm the happy one
