Going to work on the early train

Suck'n blow, cereal stain
going to work, eat my brain,
galloping rhythm, repetitive strain,
bass line tuned to the early train.
Got a job, mustn't complain
find a seat on the early train,
repetitive strain, repetitive strain,
no no no, I'm not insane.

Barbara Gordon, Lois Lane,
recurring dream can't explain,
sudden derailment, low flying plane,
nightmare on the early train.
Through the window in the rain,
washed away down the drain,
hear no evil feel no pain,
in the dark on the early train.

Energy drink, bean and cane,
ear phones in with disdain.
Little to lose nothing to gain
always the same, repetitive strain.
Wheels go 'round again 'n again,
every morning it's the same,
every day struggle in vain,
cold steel track, repetitive strain.

Going to work once again
repetitive strain, repetitive strain,
what's my number? what's my name?
No escape from the early train.
Heard the economy's on the wane,
weakest link breaks the chain
can't speak up, must refrain
repetitive strain, repetitive strain.
