A Mission In Life Lyrics

Sue, turn out the lights

It's time to close up we're through

Gotta clear it out so let's drink up

It's past two

Girl, don't push 'em out

They can walk out on their own

How many times I gotta tell you

Bob, you gotta drink up and go home

I don't run a business just to talk to you all day

Clear ou the backroom Sue

Stack up the chairs

Who broke this glass? No one really cares

Go take the trash out and vacuum the stairs

What do I pay you for?

And don't foget to sweep  the glass off the floor

Once I had plans to fix up this place

A room where you could go to

And meet people with taste

They'd talk and they'd laugh and forget the rat race

And I'd be just like on of those guys

With the moustache and face

Hey, help me lift up this case

Hey, I'm really sorry I blew up

Then I've had no sleep

I've been up all night with my wife and brother-in-law

You know Pete.

At times this world can seem just like a cold icy ball

But don't let that discourage you

'Cause you're young...take that call

And if it's my wife, just try and stall

I was just wondering how you get home

Do you have a boyfriend or do you live alone?

I'm going your way if you're going mine

No...I feel fine

But before you go just let me paass on one thing

You got a mission in life

To hold out your hand

to help the other guy out

Help your fellow man

That's why I own this bar

They're thirsty outside

I give them oceans to drink

Then they drown in the tide

They just drown in the tide...
