Verse 1

We wake up each morning and start everyday
With coffe, expresso and grade lattes
Race into traffic and complain while we wait
Mad at the world for making us late
We punch in, then lunch it, then punch out again
Rush home to clean up the messes we left
Microwave dinner the hurry to bed
Tomorrow we'll do it all over again

Chorus

That's just a day, a day in the life of America
That's just the way we live our lives in America


Verse 2

Each night is the same as the evening before
Check all your emails and lock all your doors
Half hour break on a workout machine

While surfing a 200 channel TV
Then comes the weekend, the time we like best
One day for catch up, the other for rest
But how can we rest when weíre so far behind
An hour for God is all we can find

Bridge

Some people praise it and some people hate it
This everyday chaos we made
