5 A.M.

By LOKI

5 A.M. in the morning
I wake to meet the day
I gotta get my ass up
gotta get my ass moving
Because you know I got bills to pay

This life aint meant to be easy
you do what you have to do
We all bow down
to the all mighty dollar
The poor and rich men to

Sometimes I get kind of weary
I work,I sweat,I bleed
Its what I have to do
to live this life
Because you know I got mouths to feed

Its 5A.M. in the morning
today is Saturday
I gotta get my ass up
gotta get my ass moving
Because you know I got bills to pay

I used to get off at 6:30 AM on Saturdays, worked nights. Enjoyed the moral thrust of this piece - and the "Bene Gessirit Litany Against Fear" in your profile, thanks!
