about

I love my work...but not every day...We are told to have everything,explore your creative potential, follow our dreams, plan for retirement and buy a house...somethings gotta give...which will break first, our desire to live a life of meaning or our desire to live a life with rent that's paid...I'd like to have both, and sometimes I get to….but sometimes I don't.

lyrics

If it wasn't worth a tear
I wouldn't have tried
If it wasn't worth a tear
I wouldn't have cried
And yet you say to me I've got a little too much irresponsibility
Yes you say to me it's just a little too much uncontrollability
We can't all live this way and feel this way
My friend we've all got Bills to Pay

Every day is just the same working my hands feeling the pain,
I'm just praying for a break
Got to be more than nine to five with some distraction while I wait when to we get to leave this place
We can't all live this way and feel this way
My friend we've all got Bills to Pay

Kept myself held down so long I lost the key
Say who stops you from your dreams I know that it's just me

I can't all live this way and feel this way
My friend we've all got Bills to Pay
I can't all live this way and feel this way
My friend we've all got Bills to Pay
