Up for work at 5am
I get back home at 6pm
This the story of my days
Long hard working
And thankless in everyway
But I pay the bills and get by
Keep the roof between my family and the sky
I’ve done this ever since I left school
And will probably do it until the day I die
I don’t go expecting any reward
There are millions out there
Doing this the same as me
It nothing special really
It’s what we have to do
Each day simply to survive
And dreams of life getting better
They seem like a lie
My father lived the same life
Up To when he got to 62 and died
Never got the chance to enjoy the retired life
The same maybe what’s in store for I
So I don’t dream of being retired
I simply focus on this present moment
And work out how I will get by
Welcome to my
And millions of other people’s life
Where every day is just all about getting by
Where every day is just all about struggling to survive.
