Trying To Make A Living

(الألبوم: 3 - 1995)

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 killing me)

Not even breaking even, work my fingers to the bone
Barely getting by, keeps getting 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:]
Trying to make a living, gotta pay the rent
(just) trying to make a living, wonder where my money went
Never seem to get ahead, it's getting' easier to see
(just) trying to make a living and it's killing 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]
