| Young kids in Catholic schools
|
| Elderly parents living under your roof
|
| You pay the bills and you pay the price
|
| You don’t back down and you won’t play nice
|
| The disgraced values of the company man
|
| Are why you fight and sacrifice
|
| Don’t bed or break for their one-way rules
|
| Or run from battles you know you’ll lose
|
| Greed is blinding you
|
| But we can see
|
| He’s got yesterday’s values
|
| Living in tomorrow’s industry
|
| They see your eyes, they see your face
|
| But it’s your soul they wanna take
|
| Yeah, welcome to the future it don’t seem fair
|
| But this is your struggle, the cross you bear
|
| They know your paying, they don’t think twice
|
| There’s a dollar value on your life
|
| You don’t compromise and you don’t break
|
| Yeah, it’s your principles at stake
|
| The daily outlook it’s so bleak
|
| Saving every dollar of the week
|
| Living month to month, you’ve got to get ahead
|
| But all the while falling deeper in debt
|
| The weight falls hard on the stand up gy The one you can count on you can rely
|
| This is your future it don’t seem right
|
| But this is your battle, this is your fight
|
| Something in this country has got to change
|
| If we’re ever gonna see those days again
|
| Your parents may have done it with just one job
|
| But now we’re working for less and twice as hard. |
