Help me find a way
Or a good reason
To get up out of this bed
It seems no matter what I do
Or how much I make
It's never good enough
To face the same problems
The same debts
Sometimes even adds more stress
And I don't know who claimed
This a simple life
Try to walk in my shoes
See through my eyes
People just don't seem real
Cause not matter what I do
Or how much I make
Is ever good enough

Working takes up so much time
It eats your life away
It's hard to hold on to what I have
Cause I keep finding myself

Five steps forward
Ten steps back
Tryin' to get ahead
But keep fallin' off track
Running around and around again (repeat chorus)

To pickup where you left off
Is all you have to look forward to each day
How do you get ahead
When you're behind
And the hole you've dug gets deeper
Just to quit tryin is such a cop out
i couldn't cheat myself
And I don't-who claimed
This a simple life
All the money I make barely gets me by
But I keep hanging on
Cause not matter what I do
Or how much I make
Is ever good enough

Working takes up so much time
It eats your life away
It's hard to hold on to what I have
Cause I keep finding myself

Five steps forward
Ten steps back
Tryin' to get ahead
But keep fallin' off track
Running around and around again (repeat chorus)

All the money I make barely gets me by
All the money I make is never good enough

Working takes up so much time
It eats your life away
It's hard to hold on to what I have
Cause I keep finding myself

Five steps forward
Ten steps back
Tryin' to get ahead
But keep fallin' off track
Running around and around again (repeat chorus)
