lyrics

Well he played five days a week
was on a daytime losing streak
And he found some way to make it through the day
But he died behind closed doors
decorated by Wall Street wars
He never knew how much he had to pay

It was a sacrifice
Sacrifice is never ending
It would be awfully nice
if he had another day

Well a workman's heart she stole
She's got a goldmine daughter's soul
She just turned 32 her hair is turning gray
Left a familiar face
A cell phone took its place
That's what she got when she got her MBA

It was a sacrifice
Sacrifice is never ending
It would be awfully nice
if she had another day

Morning subway train
Silent faces complain
Heading downtown, they're taking me away
No more time to kill
I got a six figure parking bill
Never mind cash I need another day

There's gonna be a sacrifice
the sacrifice is never ending
It would be awfully nice
if we had another day

If we had another day.
