Fate
Hypnotic Clambake Lyrics

Well I get up in the morning to the nitty and the gritty
I wake up to face the realities of the day ahead of me, even if they are unpleasant or difficult.

Feeling kinda shitty, oh well isn't that a pity
I feel bad or down, but there's not much I can do about it and it's not worth dwelling on.

I jump into the bathroom and I do what must be done
I tackle my necessary routine tasks head-on, without procrastinating or complaining about them.

Feeling good right after and I'm moving right along
I get a sense of satisfaction and momentum from completing my tasks, which motivates me to keep going.

The circus has its clowns
Life has its amusing and ridiculous aspects, which can provide entertainment or distraction.

The jungle has its monkeys
Life has its wild and unpredictable elements, which can be both fascinating and dangerous.

The taxi's always late
Transportation and logistics can be unreliable or frustrating, even when we try to plan ahead.

But all to blame is fate
We tend to attribute our problems or setbacks to a mysterious force beyond our control, rather than taking responsibility or looking for solutions.

Well you get to work at nine and you know you're far behind
You start your day off feeling overwhelmed or anxious about all the tasks you have to complete, and wonder if you'll be able to catch up.

Feelin' kinda tired, but you gotta do your time
You feel tired or unmotivated, but you know you have to put in the effort to fulfill your responsibilities or obligations.

You know it's coming soon, that good old coffee break at noon
You look forward to a brief respite or reward in the middle of your day, which helps you stay focused and productive.

You put a quarter in the slot, ham and cheese is what you got
You make a small investment or sacrifice to get a modest or unsatisfying payoff, which feels disappointing or unfair.

The food is kinda cruddy
The quality or taste of what you receive is subpar or unremarkable, which doesn't meet your expectations or needs.

The coffee tastes so muddy
Even the most basic or essential aspects of your experience can be unpleasant or disappointing, which adds to your frustration or discontent.

So much for your break
You don't get to enjoy the benefits or relaxation of your break, because the circumstances or environment around you are unsatisfying or stressful.

Well it's been a hard day and I'm ready for the sack
You've put in a lot of effort or endured a lot of stress throughout the day, and you're ready to rest or sleep to recover.

My head is kinda hurtin' from doing this and that
You've pushed yourself to handle various problems or responsibilities, which has taken a toll on your physical or mental health.

If your body is your temple, then take care for heaven's sake
You recognize the importance of prioritizing your health and wellbeing, and urge yourself to be mindful and attentive to your physical and emotional needs.

Cause all you can blame is that thing that we call fate
You acknowledge that factors beyond your control or influence can impact your life or circumstances, but caution against using them as an excuse or scapegoat for your own choices or actions.
