Head pounds, clock screaming at me it's time to start a new day
Gotta work 12 hours at two jobs, both at minimum wage
I don't know how much longer I can withstand this frantic pace
Gotta keep going, gotta press on, gotta face the day
Balled up like an empty bag, I lay buried in my bed
Can't sleep, can't stop, no turning off what's in my head
Even robots get shut down, their soulless bodies rebuilt
But this machine needs grease, my circuitry is set to full tilt
Keep going, keep going, tell myself, don't know if I can
Keep going, keep going, fucked up life is more than I can stand
Keep going, keep going, at the point can't take it anymore
Keep going, keep going, this is life, we are the working poor
The working poor
Throttle set to frantic, handle snapped off in my hand
Treading water for so damn long, tell myself stick to the plan
If my mind was glass, it'd snap sending shards across the floor
Need a change, fresh start collect all my shit and head for the door
It's always,
Keep going, keep going, tell myself, don't know if I can
Keep going, keep going, fucked up life is more than I can stand
Keep going, keep going, at the point can't take it anymore
Keep going, keep going, this is life, we are the working poor
The working poor
