Trying To Make A Living

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 breakin' even, work my fingers to the bone Barely gettin' by, keeps gettin' 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: Tryin' to make a livin', gotta pay the rent (just) tryin' to make a livin', wonder where my money went Never seem to get ahead, it's getting' easier to see (just) tryin' to make a livin' 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
