MUSIC FOR SALE

They cut the weight and doubled the price
Now I have to buy two, in order to suffice
Bank account is empty, the wells run dry
My electric bill is now sky high
Rent keeps rising, paychecks the same
Hope dies fast in the middle-class game
No more nine to five, out the door
Now we grind ten hours or more

Long days----short nights
No relief in sight
Paychecks vanish--debts still grow
All our work--nothing to show

Work, sweat, survive, repeat
No matter the struggle we fall behind
Bills pile high, can't make ends meet
Stuck in the endless grind


Vacations cancelled, home all alone
No money for hobbies, can't afford a new phone
Kids need shoes, but rent comes first
Every month feels like the last----much worst
Credit calls daily, I let it ring
Every bill in the mail--it really stings
I look in the mirror, tired eyes stare back
Every day my dreams fade to black

Long days----short nights
No relief in sight
Paychecks vanish--debts still grow
All our work--nothing to show

Work, sweat, survive, repeat
No matter the struggle we fall behind
Bills pile high, can't make ends meet
Stuck in the endless grind


No breaks, no mercy, debts climb high
We work, we sweat, we barely get by
Life keeps pushing, we endure the stress
Still we survive, passing life's test


Long days----short nights
No relief in sight
Paychecks vanish--debts still grow
All our work--nothing to show

Work, sweat, survive, repeat
No matter the struggle we fall behind
Bills pile high, can't make ends meet
Stuck in the endless grind
