Breath you gotta get some sleep You're counting up this change Just to get a bite to eat And you feel real stressed And looking at your bank account is just making you depressed And if you could just find work But the cycle of the losing battle Is driving you berserk So you sit all alone in your basement Hoping that the cans will be enough to pay the rent But you're not getting your hopes up too high As a kid all you wanted was to fly But now your future is looking too dry So at night you dream looking up at the starry sky How long will it be like this How hard can a person fight this Am I alone in this battle I'm climbing back up on the saddle Few weeks roll by you get a call And your glad because your back is up against the wall You catch a job at a grocery store It's not much but at least you're back up off the floor So you hustle for ten weeks straight Not slacking off at all plus your never late Clean slate all the bills are still piling up But you're working hard to pay them Just to get out of your rut Has it already been two years All the blood all the sweat all the tears Guess it pays to overcome your fears I had to teach myself how to switch gears
