Lyric

Another day, the battle starts

Through the ticket gate, I take a breath

Pushed along by waves of people

Ah, no way out, I feel like death!

Walls to the left, walls to the right

Even on my phone, I’m stuck so tight

“Excuse me” echoes fade away

Another crowded day, I’m here to stay

I dream of teleporting through this mess

If that fails, a taxi would be best

Missed my transfer, late is set

All I can do is laugh, I guess

Packed train, sardines in a row

My heart shrinks as we move slow

Feet are stepped on, I sigh once more

The office still feels miles away for sure

Holding the strap, trying to endure

The guy behind me keeps pushing for sure

The man in front sleeps through it all

Hey, face so close, can’t you fall?

I can’t see the scenery outside

Next station I want to slide

But I’m trapped, pushed back again

Same view every day, where’s my train?

“Excuse me, I’m getting off!”

But there’s no way, can’t move at all

Crushed and shoved, we inch along

Every day repeats the same old song

Packed train, sardines in a row

My time’s wasted, oh what a blow

Dreams of a seat just fade away

Will tomorrow bring the same display?

Even at the office, overtime calls

I sigh in front of my desk, four walls

Return train’s packed, no escape in sight

Still, I carry on through day and night

I’m a salaryman, I fight this life

The train is chaos, but also strife

Cry and laugh, just move along

A little detour now and then is strong

Packed train, sardines in a row

But today, I’ll give it my best go

For my company, for my family too

I ride this train, it’s all I can do

Packed train, sardines in a row

My life’s all jammed, I think you know

Smiling through it, I move along

Rush hour life, my daily song
