Had a fun time writing this song. Would you dance to it? What kind of playlist would you add it to?

_Lyrics_
Could've pushed a little harder
Could've worked an extra hour
Could've gone on till I ruined what I'd done prior to this
Cause it's only when I've done too much I feel like it's enough
Could've taken a vacation
But I'll never reach the station
Cause in my exasperation sits an immovable force
If I'm not making money with my labour
How can I face my neighbours who work nine to five
To stay alive
To put food on the table
Some of whom aren't even able to unwind
The ins and outs of daily life
And so repeat capital cycles
Cause the cost to live ain't what it once was
They say good things don't come easy
And I won't be seen as lazy
So if I'm not crying by the time my head has hit the pillow
Did I even give it all I've got
Contributing the best of me
When all I do is write
I write these little words
But if I'd knuckle down
I could be a decent nurse
If I promised that I'd make sure
To do battle with my nature
And I trade creation for survival
Who needs another artist?
Who needs another artist?
The nine to five
To stay alive
To put food on the table
Some of whom aren't even able to unwind
The ins and outs of daily life
And so repeat capital cycles
Cause the cost to live ain't what it once was
Another artist
