Just Wanna by Troi Irons Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Workin' just to keep on, keep on just to work
I'm tryna get my dreams on, but rent's due on the 1st

[Pre-Chorus]
See – one day I'm gonna clock out and I ain't never comin' back
Everyone around me tellin' me you can't do that
One day I'm gonna clock out and I ain't never comin' back
Everyone around me tellin' me you can't do that

[Chorus]
But I – I just wanna survive
I'm alone in this life
'Cause we're born and then die
Die

[Verse 2]
They want me wearing all black like it's my funeral
Counting clocks and time passed, the feeling's mutual
And so
[Pre-Chorus]
One day I'm gonna clock out and I ain't never comin' back
Everyone around me tellin' me you can't do that
One day I'm gonna clock out and I ain't never comin' back
Everyone around me tellin' me you can't do that

[Chorus]
But I, I just wanna survive
I'm alone in this life
'Cause we're born and then die
Die
I just wanna survive
I'm alone in this life
'Cause we're born and then die
Die

[Bridge]
You can do whatever you want to do, darling
Just as long as you give your life to the man upstairs
In the office, who writes your petty checks
And he'll take care of you and he'll take care of me
Cause

[Chorus]
Cause I, I just wanna survive
I'm alone in this life
'Cause we're born and then die
Die
I, I just wanna survive
I'm alone in this life
'Cause we're born and then die
Die
