Chorus
I’ve got them blue collar blues
Whatever I gain, I lose
Get my paycheck, pay my dues
I got them blue collar blues
Verse
I woke up today
Everyday is the same
Gotta go get paid
Everyday is the same
Workin’ long hours
It’s costin’ me my power
Makin’ me a coward
It’s costin’ me my power
There’s things I should do
But I ain’t got the time to
Trying to stop deja vu
But I ain’t go the time to
Chorus
I’ve got them blue collar blues
Whatever I gain, I lose
Get my paycheck, pay my dues
I got them blue collar blues
Verse
I gotta girl I love
Who I don’t see enough of
There just ain’t enough time
There just ain’t enough hours
Would rather be in school
But I can’t afford to
Would rather be lovin’ you
But I can’t afford to
Wish I could get away
Do something I’d be proud of
Losin’ my urge to
Do something I’d be proud of
Chorus
I’ve got them blue collar blues
Whatever I gain, I lose
Get my paycheck, pay my dues
I got them blue collar blues
Verse
Lookin’ above at the empty sky
Here we go
Here we die
How can it be that all of this is all there is to existence?
Breakin’ my back, breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my will, breakin’ it all
I just need some way to leave, somewhere to think, some time to grieve
