I'm up all night 
by electric light
writing songs for free
life's a bitch people are getting rich
but not a cent for me

my fingers bleed
to feed the need
of musicians appetite
so with that in mind 
it's back to the grind
working through the night

is it a waste of time
when you don't see a dime
for the hours that you burn
live in hope to write the dope
while waiting for your turn 

As for me, I live in glee
as words roll from my mind
I love to write long into the night
new rhymes I love to find

I know its time to close it down 
when daylight creeps through the blind
the time it flies to sunlit skies
as words roll through my mind

I'm up all night 
by electric light
writing songs for free
life's a bitch people are getting rich
but not a cent for me
