When you believe you've won but you only get silver
Your life's taking you nowhere
Second place looking over your shoulder
Who's behind you, you don't care
You take the pills and you feel a lot better
Happy smiling all the time
Till you get home and you start to come down from
The false high, you get from the line
You've just got to get out of here
Before you go insane
You need to get away from here
Time in lieu
A vacation
Or resign
You find your work is hard, getting harder
You snort some more, now you're feeling fine
Do extra shifts to pay for your habits
Jobs on the side and some overtime
You've just got to get out of here
Before you go insane
You need to get away from here
Time in lieu
A vacation
Or resign
Don't recognise yourself in the mirror
Always staring at another
Living alone, cos nobody wants you
You feel left out, hanging on the line
Pills and powder dragging you under
Mixed with drink, you start imagining a world that's real
But exists only in your mind
It's a long way down
The bells start to ring
You've just got to get out of here
Before you go insane
You need to get away from here
What are the options?
You've just got to get out of here
Before your time has gone
You need to get away from here
Take the redundancy
Time to move on
