I try this job I try that they tell me That's not where I'm at "Your not college grade material." "Try a trade school." I feel the fool down- and- out sad I get the same from me mom and dad "Some times tryings not enough if your not smart enough." "You'll have to work two jobs to everyone else's one." I slog on Shuffle my feet Beat the streets to The work man's beat "Good jobs are for others, take what you can get." "Don't expect a lot out of life and you'll be fine." I try my best ain't good enough Hurled in the world where it's rough and tough "Get you a bus pass and some free government cheese." "You'll get ***** hands and need a strong back." Food, rent, clothes, life On minimum pay No way no way can this work day to day "Find a roommate, sell your blood, collect cans, get to love 29 cent ramen noodles, you'll be o.k." Thousands upon thousands In every city Ain't pretty, real ****** And zero pity "Sorry but there's the "haves and the "have nots", welcome to the lousy end." "Buck up, other countries are worse." While the rich get richer and the poor get poorer How did surviving in America Become such a horror "Your the working class, blue collar, the modern day slave, get used to it. Now shut up and get back to work!!"
