This Is My Life - Phil Vassar

Fat cat’s just gettin’fatter

Lining their pockets, what does it matter

All I want is an honest wage

A piece of ground where my kids are safe

Eighty bucks to fill my truck

Oil man tellin’me times are tough

Stickin’it to the middle class

Well, they can kiss my price of gas

It’s time to speak my mind

Hey yeah, this is my life

Hey yeah, this is my life

Yeah 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

To pledge allegiance to my God

Talkin’heads tryin’to buy my vote

I’m just tryin’to pay my note

I’m a husband tryin’to be a father

Raise my son and raise my daughter

Can you hear me Hey yeah, this is my life

Hey yeah, this is my life

Yeah and I want it back

Well, I’m just standin’on the edge of my brink

I will not go quietly

I’ll tell you what I think, yeah

It’s time to speak my peace

Squeaky wheel always gets the grease

One single voice don’t matter

But everybody screamin’up the ladder

Gonna get the attention of the man on top

Make his ladder shake and rock

And it might just come tumblin’down

Spread all that wealth around

That’s what I’m talkin about

Hey yeah, this is my life

Hey yeah, this is my life

Yeah, this is my life

This is my life
