Another dead end job
Cadd9
In a dead end life

Its a dead end day
D
To a dark night

And you work 'til you bleed

And I'll bleed all day to sing a song

Do you have a home?

Do you know your rights?

Cuz this minimum wage

Ain't enough to fill this page.

But I ain't working for you

That depend on me

And I'm doing it for food
Cadd9
For whatever I can

Your breaking the rules

For the tears that I've cried
Cadd9
For my wasted life

And I'm tired and wasted tonight

For an American world

With baited breath

And the malls will go too

But uncle Sam still wants you

For the red white and blues

In the middle of the night

And the people who die

In the name of a lie
G
While the rich get richer
D G
And we're left behind
