I slave at my job just to have the means To survive while I’m fulfilling other peoples’ dreams I’m sick and tired of being mistreated and ignored Because the world is filled with things that I just can’t afford
(Chorus) And I know, I know this too shall pass But I don’t know how much longer I’m gonna last When I’m broke and broken down every single day And I don’t know how much longer it’s gonna to be this way
The harder I work I’m no further ahead Because every single extra cent goes towards my debts They say the best things in life come for free But whoever say that wasn’t slave to this economy
Chorus
I go to bed each night feeling beat And I lie away thinking about how to make ends meet I just don’t understand why so few have so much While the rest of us suffer just to have enough
Chorus
And I’ve tried to find an open door But I’m stuck in this system destined to be poor I know that I’m not the only one But I can’t wait any longer for my time to come
Though life’s hard what else can I do Besides hold fast to my dreams and hope that they come true? God knows how we’ll make it on this pay But we’ve just gotta stand strong and gotta keep believing anyway
