Overtime - The Strike

Let’s go!

I heard a voice

And my world came apart

How could a sound so innocent strike such fear to the heart

Am I in chains

Am I set free

Is a fight with the secondhand all that’s left for me

I hope you understand

That I’m doing all I can

And I go to extremes

Just to provide a change in scene

For you I’m working overtime

I’m driving my run-down car like a limousine straight through night

And I’m burning out but I’m alright

Here in the home of the brave till the end of my days

For you babe

I’m working overtime

Deep into the night

But I’m coming home soon baby I can turn out the lights

Don’t wait up

Like you always do

Cause God knows I’m a sinner just acting like I’m a winner for you

I hope you understand

That I’d do that it all again

We’ve been lost in a dream

With each day the same

So it seems

For you I’m working overtime

I’m driving my run-down car like a limousine straight through night

I’m burning out but I’m alright

Here in the home of the brave till the end of my days

For you babe

I’m working overtime

And I’m late again

Burning down both ends

And I can’t see the end

While I break you bend

And it’s all that I know

I just pray that it shows

It’s for you that I can’t let it go

Yeah for you I’m working overtime

I’m driving my run-down car like a limousine straight through night

I’m burning out but I’m alright

Here in the home of the brave till the end of my days

For you babe

I’m working overtime

For you babe

I’m working overtime

For you babe

I’m working overtime

For you babe

I’m working overtime
