lyrics

Nice day to cruise along
Sunshine and a high, but not for me
I’ve got places to be
Good time to take it slow
Wish I had some of that instead of somewhere to go
I gotta make my worth known
Clear skies and a soft breeze
Perfect day to take it easy
But I’ve got responsibilities
No rest, no break, no time
No way to get off the grind
Yeah I’m so busy

Running all the time
Running all the time
I’m Running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
I’m reaching for the highs

I’m running late again
Earn money just to spend it on the weekend
Part-time but a full load
My commitments are ten-fold
It is what it is, I submit to the rat race!

No rest, no break no time
No way to get piece of mind
Yeah I’m just trying to get by
How did we get back here
Didn’t even take one year
To get back on track in the rat race!

Running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
I’m reaching for the highs
I’m running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
Running all the time
I’m running all the time
Running all the time
I’m reaching for the highs
I’m running all the time, I gotta

Stop, break, rest, breath
No stop, no break, no rest, no breath
We go, go, go, go

No stop, no break, no rest, no breath, no end

about

Emilee South image

Emilee South Melbourne, Australia

Combining the raw edge of punk with the driving force of rock, South shouts unapologetically over chaotic guitar riffs and charging rhythms to themes of capitalism, feminism, privilege, and the power of community. With influences ranging from Grinderman and IDLES to Sharon Van Etten, the band go from from urgent hooks to unyielding power. ... more
