Fat cats just getting fatter Lining 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 telling me times are tough Sticking it to the middle class Well, they can kiss my price of gas Its time to speak my mind Hey, this is my life Woa, woa this is my life Hey yea this is my life Woa-woa Yea, 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 Talkin' heads trying to buy my vote I'm just trying to pay my note I'm a husband trying to be a father Raise my son and raise my daughter Can you hear me? Hey, this is my life Woa?woa this is my life Hey yea this is my life Woa-woa And I want it back Well, I'm just standing on the edge of the brink I will not go quietly I'll tell you what I think Its time to speak my peace Squeaky wheel always gets the grease One single voice don't matter But everybody's screaming up the ladder Gonna get the attention of the man on top Make it louder, shake and rock It might just come tumbling down Spread all that wealth around That's what I'm talking about Hey-ya this is my life Woa?woa this is my life Hey-hey-yea this is my life Woa-woa This is my life This is my life
