At the first bell of the day
   They rise up from where they lay
   And look down with the promise in their hands
   A promise to get out
   This ain't what it's all about
   There's always lots of reasons for their plans
   When that golden sun shines through
   There's always one more thing to do
   Just one more stab into the wishing well
  
   That's what they always say
   I'm getting out
   That's what they always say
   Ain't that just what they always say
   That's what they always say
   Just one more little thing left in my way
   That's what they always say
   Ain't that just what they always say
  
   I'm getting out, I'm holding on
   I'm hanging in, the time is wrong
   And every morning brings another reason
   A piece of cake, no lion share
   Just one more dice and you'll be there
   That golden bridge is just around the bend
  
   That's what they always say
   I'm getting out
   That's what they always say
   Ain't that just what they always say
   That's what they always say
   Just one more little thing left in my way
   That's what they always say
   Ain't that just what they always say
  
   Tomorrow is another day
   The money junkie fades away
   That golden bridge is just around the bend
  
   That's what they always say
   I'm getting out
   That's what they always say
   Ain't that just what they always say
   That's what they always say
   Just one more little thing left in my way
   That's what they always say
   Ain't that just what they always say
