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
