Lyrics

Work all day, ends still don't meet
Break my back, sometimes don't eat
12 hour days, pay for one room
Just got to bed, time to go back soon

Welcome the working poor
Spend my days and nights
Just earning my home and food
Doin' all I can do

Welcome to the working poor
Trying the best I can
I might even make a little more
Living on a government check

Times get tough, cut my hours back
I'm victimized, by the education I lack
See my kids, in the same boat
Lives so small, and so full of doubt

I never see, the American dream
I'll never be, part of the team

I get sick, can't afford the doctor
Got no heat, hope it's a mild winter
Kids need clothes, there goes this weeks pay
I'm so tired of, living from day to day
