Eat sleep work repeat
No life for the living
Eat sleep work repeat
The drudge unforgiving
Eat sleep work repeat
Dine in on your soul
Eat sleep work repeat
Dreams swallowed whole
Eat sleep work repeat
Clock in nine to five
Eat sleep work repeat
You’re barely alive
Eat sleep work repeat
You thought there’d be more
Eat sleep work repeat
Now just numb to the core

It is remarkable how many songs Carol King wrote for others which became spectacular hits for those people.
