Working at a very young age,

trying to help my parents pay the rent

I grew up in the ghetto where we lived day by day

Blue collar worker, no increase in youe paycheck

Better not cal in sick ot your job will be at stake

We are trying to survive in this fucking world we live in

Working class youth, working hard to make it through



Working every day, low paying jobs we get

A beer just to forget

This is your life!



Some of us go to school, try to make it through

White collar fucking worker, like a robot goes to work

Two weeks vacation a year, you have it made in this world

You better keep up the payments of that car and house you bought

We are trying to survive in this fucking world we live

Working class youth working hard to make it through



My mothers sick in bed, doctor bill has to be paid

Another ticket for speeding and the judge won't hear my pleas

President's day, Valentines day, don't forget Christmas day

Another fucking holiday created by the buisness man

We're trying to survive in this fucking world we live

Working class youth working hard to make it through
