Last Hour of the Last Day of Work by Less Than Jake Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't help but think back to the
The advice that I got from my dad
He said time goes by so fast
In the blink of an eye, so never close your eyes
And I always wanted something
Something more than fifty hours
Every week and a paid vacation
On the Jersey shoreline
[Pre-Chorus]
And he said
[Chorus]
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man, yeah!
[Verse 2]
I can't help but think back to the
To the time he said life goes right by
And told me never think twice
You can't second guess how to live your life
All these years have been way too short
To be spent on some factory floor like me
I never went back again
I never looked back again
[Pre-Chorus]
And he said
[Chorus]
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man
[Bridge]
It's the last hour of the last day
Don't fall so far behind now
You'll be another nameless face
[Pre-Chorus]
He said
[Chorus]
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man
I can't help but think back to the
The advice that I got from my dad
He said time goes by so fast
In the blink of an eye, so never close your eyes
And I always wanted something
Something more than fifty hours
Every week and a paid vacation
On the Jersey shoreline
[Pre-Chorus]
And he said
[Chorus]
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man, yeah!
[Verse 2]
I can't help but think back to the
To the time he said life goes right by
And told me never think twice
You can't second guess how to live your life
All these years have been way too short
To be spent on some factory floor like me
I never went back again
I never looked back again
[Pre-Chorus]
And he said
[Chorus]
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man
[Bridge]
It's the last hour of the last day
Don't fall so far behind now
You'll be another nameless face
[Pre-Chorus]
He said

So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man (Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
So when ambition turns into competition
I'll never be the better man
