Man's got his things to do
No work to keep the city moving
No time for breakfast, no morning ***
He's got a clock to watch
Happy faces on the train
At least that's what he'd hope to see
But the truth is that they all look sad
That's when he cries out loud
Mama, call me please
Mama, call me please
Cause I lost it
Am I the only man
Trying to understand what's next?
Still there's his kids to feed
And the new phone ain't coming cheap
So he bought a car to follow
The work he can't swallow
And the years fly by like
One day he wakes up all the kids
Traveling to places that he's never seen
But he can't move no more
Cause his back's too sore
From all the work he's done
Mama, call me please
Mama, call me please
I lost it
Am I the only man
Trying to understand what's next?
Ain't got no time for crying
I'm way too busy dying
Move closer to the end
Who's next to take my land?
So many dreams are shattered
Dreams are shattered
For things that didn't matter
No way to turn the tides
Too old and tired to fight
Too old and tired to fight
Too old and tired to fight
Too old and tired to fight
Too old and tired to fight
I lost it
Mama, call me please
Mama, call me please
I lost it
Am I the only man
Trying to understand what's next?
