At the End of the Day
As sung by the stormtroopers stationed on Hoth
Troopers:
At the end of the day you're another day older
And on our salary always you're poor
It's a struggle it's a war
And there's nothing that anyone's giving
One more day standing about
What is it for?
One day less to be living!
At the end of the day you're another day colder
And the armor you're wearing don't keep out the chill
And our leaders marching past
They shoot at us if we're crying
And Lord Vader is coming on fast
Ready to kill
One day nearer to dying!
At the end of the day the Alliance is plotting
And whatever they're plotting it bodes us no good
Like the waves crash on the sand
Like a storm that'll break any second
There's a hunger in the land
There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and
We're the ones who'll have to pay
At the end of the day!
Stormtrooper Officer:
At the end of the day you get nothing for nothing
Sitting flat on your butt doesn't get you a cred!
Trooper 1:
There are children back at home
Troopers 1&2
And the children have got to be fed
Trooper 1:
And you're lucky to be in a job
Trooper 3:
And in a bed
Troopers:
And we're counting our blessings
