A bright new day has started
by the sound of the alarm.
You start with a cup of tea
and a shower to get warm.

After this it's breakfast time,
a slice of bread or two,
while thinking of everything
that, today, you'll have to do.

First drive through busy traffic,
leave early or you'll be late.
Second, spend all day working,
which your family will hate.

Third, have lunch while working still,
as you have no time for rest.
Fourth, you'll be driving back home
through that busy traffic pest.

Fifth, you'll be eating dinner,
prepared by your loving spouse.
Sixth is watching the telly,
sit, all evening, in your house.

Seventh, you'll just go to bed
'cause there's nothing else to do.
Then, after a short night's sleep,
everything just starts anew.

Think about it for a sec,
is this really what you want?
Gonna live a standard life?
Well, I know for sure I shan't.

Want to do things I enjoy,
go wherever Nature goes.
Want to live in happiness
instead of living my woes.

I want to see world places,
not be trapped in my hometown.
I don't want to become known
as the woman with the frown.

No nine to five job for me,
I wouldn't fit the standard.
Though I'd like that cup of tea
to soothe my poor achy throat.
