This Is My Life

Fat cats just getting fatter
Linin their pockets
What does it matter?
All I want is an honest wage
A piece of ground where my kids are safe
80 bucks to fill my truck
Old man tellin' me times are tough
Stickin' it to the middle class
Well, they can kiss my price of gas
It's time to speak my mind

Hey-yea this is my life
Woa-woa this is my life
Hey-yea this is my life
Woa-woa
Yeah, and I want it back

Republican or democrat
Well, I don't give a damn about that
I want a chance to do my job
Pledge allegiance to my god
Talking heads tryin to buy my vote
I'm just tryin pay my note
I'm a husband, tryin to be a father
Raise my son, and raise my daughter
Can you hear me?

Hey-yea this is my life
Woa-woa this is my life
Hey-yea this is my life
Woa-Woa
Yeah, and I want it back

Well I'm just standin on the edge of the brink
I will not go quietly
I'll tell you what I think

It's time to speak my peace
Squeaky wheel always get the grease
One single voice dont matter
But everybody screamin up the ladder
Gonna get the attention of the man on top
Make his ladder shake and rock
And it might just
Come a' tumblin down
Spread all that wealth around
That's what I'm talkin' about

Hey-yea this is my life
Woa-woa this is my life
Hey-yea this is my life
Woa-woa
Yeah, this is my life

This is my life
