This Is My Life

(专辑： Prayer Of A Common Man - 2008)

Fat cat's just getting fatter
Lining their pockets, what does it matter
All I want is an honest wage
A piece of ground where my kids are safe
Eighty bucks to fill my truck
Oil man telling me times are tough
Sticking it to the middle class
Well, they can kiss my price of gas
It's time to speak my mind

Hey yeah, this is my life
Hey yeah, this is my life
Yeah and I want it back

Republican or Democrat
Well, I don't give a damn about that
I want a chance to do my job
To pledge allegiance to my God
Talking heads trying to buy my vote
I'm just trying to pay my note
I'm a husband trying to be a father
Raise my son and raise my daughter
Can you hear me

Hey yeah, this is my life
Hey yeah, this is my life
Yeah and I want it back

Well, I'm just standing on the edge of my brink
I will not go quietly
I'll tell you what I think, yeah
It's time to speak my peace
Squeaky wheel always gets the grease
One single voice don't matter
But everybody screaming up the ladder
Gonna get the attention of the man on top
Make his ladder shake and rock
And it might just come tumbling down
Spread all that wealth around
That's what I'm talkin about

Hey yeah, this is my life
Hey yeah, this is my life
Yeah, this is my life
This is my life
