(Don't Wanna) Live For A Living

(album: Wanna Be A Star - 1981)

You run around and pay the rent
You buy the food your money's spent
Cut me off, I'm having fun, ain't getting nothing done
It cost too much, those days are done
I am having too much fun

Don't wanna live for a living
Don't wanna be there no more
Don't wanna live for a living
Don't wanna be there no more

Stay home at night and have fight
Who can tell what's wrong or right?
Up and eight and don't be late

Double time at twice the rate
It's hell today it's what you hate
Can't afford to make them wait

Don't wanna live for a living
Don't wanna be there no more
Don't wanna live for a living
Don't wanna be there no more

Living without living
Another day's victim
Of working harder every day
Just trying to get by

I don't want the money
'Cause don't think it's funny
They're using all my energy
And wasting my time

Nine to five is useless
So long ti's really endless
I'm working night and day
To meet the bills I can't pay

Irritate, discriminate
Always trying to dominate
With all due respect
Kiss my ass

Get prosecuted fight the judge
End up paying twice as much
Life ain't got too much romance
Working man ain't got no chance

Don't wanna live for a living
Don't wanna be there no more
Don't wanna live for a living
Don't wanna be there no more
