Jaykub, it's time for you to wake up and accept your awards

Jaykub, you work until the day's done and then you go to bed

And go on smiling while your landlord is pounding on the door

Up on the podium you're famous and you're strong

[Chorus]

Then the alarm goes off and you're a sad man in a song
