Stop Lyrics

Wake up every morning to the sound of a machine

Shower, shave and brush my teeth as part of a routine

Breakfast is a one-bite snack and coffee is the theme

To wake me up and clear my mind from that unfinished dream

And I'm accelerating, never hesitating

I can't afford to spend a moment meditating

Contemplation in this situation

Would make me hear my mind and body crying out for me to

Stop

Cool down

What's the use of all this madness making life a pool of sadness

Stop

Cool down

You can't do this everyday

There must be another way

On a rare occasion I was walking down the street

A man came up to me who had no shoes under his feet

He told me "You're a lucky man, I can clearly see

A reason to wake up each day is what a person needs"

It was an indication

Of my miscalculation

Working hard will keep you from this degradation

Learning, earning, always keeps you yearning

Forever hoping that the day will never come when you will

Stop

And break down

You'd best keep up the pace or you will end up on your face

Never stop

Or break down

It's a struggle every day

There is just no other way
