Trying to Make a Living
Well I woke up this mornin', 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 killin' me
Hey
Not even breakin' even, work my fingers to the bone
Barely gettin' by, keeps gettin' harder
I'm slavin' on the grindstone and I get no breaks at all
Tryin' to keep my head above the water
Can't make ends meet, can't even save a dime
Feels like I spend my life workin' overtime
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 killin' me, yea
Times are gettin' tough seems I never make enough
Doing what I can to stay alive
And I'd like to take a day off but I can't afford a layoff
I gotta keep this damn job to survive
Hey, can't make ends meet I can't even save a dime
Feels like I spend my life workin' overtime
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 killin' me, yea
Killin' me, well yea
Ooh hoo yea yea
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 gettin' easier to see
Just tryin' to make a livin'
Tryin' to make a livin'
Tryin' to make a livin' and it's killin' me, yea
Killin' me
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 killin' me
Hey
Not even breakin' even, work my fingers to the bone
Barely gettin' by, keeps gettin' harder
I'm slavin' on the grindstone and I get no breaks at all
Tryin' to keep my head above the water
Can't make ends meet, can't even save a dime
Feels like I spend my life workin' overtime
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 killin' me, yea
Times are gettin' tough seems I never make enough
Doing what I can to stay alive
And I'd like to take a day off but I can't afford a layoff
I gotta keep this damn job to survive
Hey, can't make ends meet I can't even save a dime
Feels like I spend my life workin' overtime
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 killin' me, yea
Killin' me, well yea
Ooh hoo yea yea
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 gettin' easier to see
Just tryin' to make a livin'
Tryin' to make a livin'
Tryin' to make a livin' and it's killin' me, yea
Killin' me
