I wake up-and try and Face another day Here we are-just another Link in the chain It's so tough-to reach the top From down on your knees here we go on this road-were onlytryin to make ends meet They throw you a bone Take your piece of the pie And reap what you've sawn As we reach for the sky Overworked and underpaid Same old problem, a diffrent day You bust your ass for A minimum wage It really sucks...your life away Dead end job-from the craddle To the grave Break your back-say hello to the American way Black and blue-had my ass Handed to me The time card of life keeps You runnin dead on your feet Your taxed to the max And knee deep in debt Your credit is trashed Still we reach for the sky Overworked and underpaid Same old problem, a diffrent day You bust your ass for A minimum wage It really sucks...your life away Gimme gimme, your power And your greed Come on come on, I'll show You how it feels Stand back, it cuts both ways The table's turned It's pay day Get paid ! Paid-up !
