From daybreak til the sun goes down It's just another day of the blues Some work nine to five, some work all night Everybody's gotta pay some kind of dues Overworked and underpaid Overworked and underpaid Every blue collar feels his dollar gettin smaller It's hard to keep from coming unglued Sometimes you're wrong, sometimes you're right Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose And there's a price you have to pay To go on living day to day No satisfaction guaranteed Overworked and underpaid Overworked and underpaid It's a treadmill existence with no way out You either hang loose or hang tight You know that you can shake it, you can always get by Keep on keepin on til you get it right
