Help me find a way   Or a good reason   To get up out of this bed   It seems no matter what I do   Or how much I make   It's never good enough   To face the same problems   The same debts   Sometimes even adds more stress   And I don't know who claimed   This a simple life   Try to walk in my shoes   See through my eyes   People just don't seem real   Cause not matter what I do   Or how much I make   Is ever good enough      Working takes up so much time   It eats your life away   It's hard to hold on to what I have   Cause I keep finding myself      Five steps forward   Ten steps back   Tryin' to get ahead   But keep fallin' off track   Running around and around again (repeat chorus)      To pickup where you left off   Is all you have to look forward to each day   How do you get ahead   When you're behind   And the hole you've dug gets deeper   Just to quit tryin is such a cop out   i couldn't cheat myself   And I don't-who claimed   This a simple life   All the money I make barely gets me by   But I keep hanging on   Cause not matter what I do   Or how much I make   Is ever good enough      Working takes up so much time   It eats your life away   It's hard to hold on to what I have   Cause I keep finding myself      Five steps forward   Ten steps back   Tryin' to get ahead   But keep fallin' off track   Running around and around again (repeat chorus)      All the money I make barely gets me by   All the money I make is never good enough      Working takes up so much time   It eats your life away   It's hard to hold on to what I have   Cause I keep finding myself      Five steps forward   Ten steps back   Tryin' to get ahead   But keep fallin' off track   Running around and around again (repeat chorus)
