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 k**ing 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 k**ing 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]
