1. ALL DAY

Well i'm hiding my eyes from the morning sun
And i keep on working till the work is all done
But a voice in my head keeps ticking away
As the sweat's hosed down from yet another day
Well he works hard
And he lives hard
And he breaks his back without nothing to gain
While the boss man sits around and drinks champagne

All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one transition
All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one decision

Well i'm peeling the blisters off my working hand
Is that what it takes to make you understand?
That it's something you read, not something you meant
To be slaving away without a shred of integrity
He worked hard
And he lived hard
And he broke his back without nothing to say
While the man in control was just laughing away

All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one transition
All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one decision

Was it something you read?
Was it something you meant?
Was it something you said?
Or was it heaven sent?

All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one transition
All day (you work and you work and you work and)
In life, there's just one decision


2. (EVERYDAY IS) HALLOWEEN

Well i live with snakes and lizards
And other things that go bump in the night
Cos to me everyday is halloween
I have given up hiding and started to fight
I have started to fight

Well any time, any place, anywhere that i go
All the people seem to stop and stare
They say 'why are you dressed like it's halloween?
You look so absurd, you look so obscene'

O, why can't i live a life for me?
Why should i take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

Well i let their teeny minds think
That they're dealing with someone who is over the brink
And i dress this way just to keep them at bay
Cos halloween is everyday
It's everyday

O, why can't i live a life for me?
Why should i take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

O, why can't i live a life for me?
Why should i take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me
I'm not the one that's so absurd

Why hide it?
Why fight it?
Hurt feelings
Best to stop feeling hurt
From denials, reprisals
It's the same it's the same in the whole wide world
