I've been working so hard
Just came home from my job
I look down in my wallet
Goddamit I been robbed
Where can my money be now
[five of a???] a week's long work
What can I do now
I got so many bills to pay
You got me singing the blues
And I'm payin all my dues
You got me singing the blues
And I'm payin all my dues

[????] outta my pocket
Oh what a day
The bills are gonna rob me tomorrow
That's why I need my ten dollars today
You got me singing the blues
And I'm payin all my dues
