Trying To Make A Living Lyrics

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
