lyrics

Verse 1:

I’m putting all this effort in
While you just
sit and look pretty

All I ask for is a
little recognition from time to time

Fake like my words
are all just contrived

You swear that your job sucks
And I like to whine

Annoying on a daily basis

Stop complaining
let’s switch places

Pre-Chorus:

It’s not good for us,
but I still trust
That you’ll be there when the morning comes

And you’ll greet me with a smile,
And bottled up denial

That you couldn’t hide
You couldn’t hide if you wanted to

Chorus:

Believe me I know
it’s hard when you
working in the darkness
(it’s not so easy after all)

I’ll trade you back
for the night shift
away from the politics
(which you’re so much better at)

Verse 2:

I’m kicking myself while I’m living your hell
It all looked so easy but I couldn’t tell

I’m at the edge of my patience
Disheveled and tired, I can’t take it

It looks like
I’m not the only one
struggling to adapt

You’re visualizing my perspective
learning why I snapped

Pre-Chorus:

It’s not good for us,
but I still trust
That you’ll be there when the morning comes

And you’ll greet me with a smile,
And bottled up denial

That you couldn’t hide
You couldn’t hide if you wanted to

Chorus:

Believe me I know
it’s hard when you
working in the darkness
(it’s not so easy after all)

I’ll trade you back
for the night shift
away from the politics
(which I still don’t understand)

Outro:
Sister, I can’t do much, but I will always be there for you

REINVENT
by PrinceWhateverer

supported by 13 fans who also own “Night Shifts and Politics”

Awesome album from start to finish. PW's destinctive style is present throughout, but every track is a fresh effort, and the album successfully transitions from driving rock to mellow contemplation without sounding forced or rehashed. I'm not as big of a fan of the remixes, but I appreciate their inclusion and unique perspective. Hard to ask for more than 16 tracks with no skips! theCANderson

REIMAGINE
by PrinceWhateverer

supported by 12 fans who also own “Night Shifts and Politics”

REIMAGINE is just a really good album, all around. Each song is very good, and just has excellent energy. I'm particularly fond of Conviction (but Tempest is a great character for the style, so that's maybe no surprise). Absolutely worth a listen, and I'll have to check out more of Prince Whateverer's music. Kamani
