Well I woke up this morning, pulled myself out of bed
|
|
I wish that I could sleep the day away
|
|
Just a day like any other, same old thing, over and over
|
|
I'm overworked and underpaid (and it's killing me)
|
|
Not even breakin' even, work my fingers to the bone
|
|
Barely gettin' by, keeps gettin' harder
|
|
I'm slaving on the grindstone and I get no breaks at all
|
|
Just trying to keep my head above the water
|
|
Can't make ends meet, can't even save a dime
|
|
Feels like I spend my life working overtime
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
Tryin' to make a livin', gotta pay the rent
|
|
(just) tryin' to make a livin', wonder where my money went
|
|
Never seem to get ahead, it's getting' easier to see
|
|
(just) tryin' to make a livin' and it's killing me
|
|
Times are getting tough seems I never make enough
|
|
Just doing what I can to stay alive
|
|
And I'd like to take a day off but I can't afford a layoff
|
|
Gotta keep this damn job to survive
|
|
Can't make ends meet I can't even save a dime
|
|
Feels like I spend my life working overtime
|
|
Chorus
