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
