Lyrics
Gotta keep my nose to the grindstone
Gotta keep my foot to the floor
Gotta make it while the sun still
shines
Gotta swim until I reach the other
shore
Gotta keep by back to the window
While the clock is still keeping
score
Gotta keep my head down, gotta keep
the pressure
Gotta keep the wolf from the door
Gotta make a mountain from a mole
hill
I've never worked so hard before
Yeh I gotta get to you before the sun
goes down
I can't help it
[repeat]
Gotta hold a hammer to the coal face
I gotta follow that scene to the core
I gotta journey to the center of the
earth
Cos I can't stand still anymore
If I'm still in one piece when I'm
naked
It'll be a miracle for sure
Yeh I gotta get to you before the sun
goes down
I can't help it
Ah, oh... gotta grind this stone into
powder
I gotta break every brick in the wall
I gotta see the light... gotta see
this prison crumble
Gotta see the watchtowers fall
I gotta be my own judge and jury
But when you speak I got to answer
the call
Yeah I gotta set a course for the
setting sun
I gotta break out of here... yeh I
gotta run
I gotta go hard until I'm black and
blue
I can't help it
I gotta keep going
I gotta get through
I gotta get away
I gotta get to you
I gotta get to you
Yeh I gotta get to you before the sun
goes down
Before the sun goes down
