Little Feat Daily Grind Lyrics

Daily Grind Lyrics

Craig Fuller, Bill Payne, Paul Barrere 



Movin' round the grand design 

Gettin' stranger every day 

Knowin' that our time will come 

And it might not be so far away 

Wonderin' where to draw the line 

Believin' that the water just might turn to wine 

  

You can get yourself in trouble 

Livin' out other people's lies 

When they tell you how the price is bound to double 

Here's friendly word to the wise 

There's a fine print on that guarantee 

Things ain't what they appear to be 

  

And we're living like there ain't no tomorrow 

Dealin in some dangerouse times 

And it comes right down to beg steal or borrow 

To try and make the daily bread 

And keep up with this daily grind 

  

Never been much for givin' up 

I take my chancesa as they come 

But the days are long and the nights are gettin' rough 

What's livin' when you're always on the run? 

  

They'd have you think than you can choose 

Tell you how you're sure to win -- you just can't lose 

And if you think they can walk on water 

You been listenin' to too many lies 

  

'Cause we're living like there ain't no tomorrow 

Dealin in some dangerouse times 

And it comes right down to beg steal or borrow 

To try and make the daily bread 

And keep up with this daily grind
