Lyrics Phil Vassar – This Is My Life
Text:
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
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
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
