Up From Zero Lyrics - Tankard

Every day I'm a slave to the grind 

Think I'm loosing my mind 

9 to 5 ain't mu kind of routine 

Ain't nobody's machine 

Boss says: think of the future 

But what about today? 

'Cos if I die tomorrow 

There ain't no time to waste 

I'm leaving 

I'm doing my own thing 

I'll do it...on my own 

Wanna feel I'm alive, I'm a man 

Gonna do all I can 

Gonna try til I get what I need 

Never give ups my creed 

Make up your mind and do it 

And feel you're wild at heart 

Life is to short to worry 

You've got to make a start 

Up from zero - to where I wanna be 

No one's hero - I do it just for me 

Up from zero - it may be hard to do 

No one's hero - but you can make it too 

Outta work, outta cash, outta booze 

But I won't sing no blues 

Gonna play, gonna will, wanna bet? 

Don't you think I'm done yet 

When bad luck gets me down, hey 

I'll just get up again 

No room for desperation 

'Cos I like happy ends 

I'll rise up 

Show you what I can take 

I'll make it...check it out 

Doesn't help to complain about your fate 

Cos there ain't no escape 

What you do is you put up a fight 

Get a grip, set things right 

When she starts getting nasty 

Look fortune in the eye 

She will smile down upon you 

If you just really try 

Up from zero - to where I wanna be 

No one's hero - I do it just for me 

Up from zero - it may be hard to do 

No one's hero - but you can make it too 

Every day I'm a slave to the grind 

Think I'm loosing my mind 

9 to 5 ain't mu kind of routine 

Ain't nobody's machine 

Boss says: think of the future 

But what about today? 

'Cos if I die tomorrow 

There ain't no time to waste 

I'm leaving 

I'm doing my own thing 

I'll do it...on my own 

Wanna feel I'm alive, I'm a man 

Gonna do all I can 

Gonna try til I get what I need 

Never give ups my creed 

Make up your mind and do it 

And feel you're wild at heart 

Life is to short to worry 

You've got to make a start 

Up from zero - to where I wanna be 

No one's hero - I do it just for me 

Up from zero - it may be hard to do 

No one's hero - but you can make it too
