Well I don't know if I'm the only one who expected life to be
A little more then workin' like a dog for almost free
They say you can be anything that you wanna be
I say ignorance is bliss and you are livin' in a dream
Cause' we're all just workin' to make ends meet
Just tryin' to live the lives we're supposed to lead
With so much standin' in our way
Well we learn to live another day
With the shirts on our backs and the shoes down on our feet
Just tryin' to make ends meet
When I was young my old man worked his hands to the bone
To put food on the table and he did it alone
Workin for the man who never through him a bone
To this day he's in a factory workin' along
Cause' we're all just workin' to make ends meet
Just tryin' to live the lives we're supposed to be
With so much standin' in our way
Well we learn to live another day
With the shirts on our backs and the shoes down on our feet
Just tryin' to make ends meet
Now I'm 25 and I can't complain
I'm doin' what it is that I love
Write and playin' songs and doing things some only get to dream of
Now those of you who go to work everyday
My hat goes off to you
It's not easy just tryin' to get by
But we do what we gotta do
Cause' we're all just workin' to make ends meet
Just tryin' to live the lives we're supposed to lead
With so much standin' in our way
Well we learn to live another day
With the shirts on our backs and the shoes down on our feet
Just tryin' to make ends meet
