I wake up - and try

and face another day

Here we are - just another link in the chain

It's so tough - to reach the top

From down on your knees

here we go on this road –

we’re only tryin to make ends meet

They throw you a bone

Take your piece of the pie

And reap what you've sawn

As we reach for the sky

Overworked and underpaid

Same old problem, a diffrent day

You bust your ass for

A minimum wage

It really sucks...your life away

Dead end job –

from the cradle  to the grave

Break your back –

say hello to the American way

Black and blue - had my ass

Handed to me

The time card of life keeps

You runnin dead on your feet

You’re taxed to the max

And knee deep in debt

Your credit is trashed

Still we reach for the sky

Overworked and underpaid

Same old problem, a different day

You bust your ass

for a minimum wage

It really sucks...your life away

Gimme gimme, your power

And your greed

Come on come on,

I'll show you how it feels

Stand back, it cuts both ways

The table's turned

It's pay day

Get paid !

Paid-up !
