Work So Hard

It's hard movin' from day to day

When you don't know what's coming in from the fray

So you pray, and hold on for the ride

And you hope you have the grit to make it and survive

This life don't come with guarantees

Even if you get the money it may not do a thing

To help you be what you wanna, who you really oughta be

It's a shame you have to work so hard

Just to pay for groceries and fuel your car

But Its not about what you have or what you don't

If your shit don't make you happy, more stuff won't

Clean cut kid, tech pedigree

Not a debt to his name they covered his degree

Tells me his pay just isn't enough

At a 140 grand, man he's livin' pretty rough

And now he slums in here with the workin' class

With a grimace on his face, half a beer in his glass

And now we're drinkin' here together, waiting out the weather the same

What a Shame he has to work so hard

Just to come up short of his next sports car

Man, Its not about what you have or what you don't

If your shit don't make you happy, more stuff won't

Garbage man with his name on his shirt

Cracks a big ol' smile while the kid shares his hurt

Tells us he suffers from lung disease from a chemical exposure, serving overseas

VA checks are all gone so he's drivin' truck

But he's happy for the work, says he's got good luck

And now we're Suffering together, waiting out the weather the same

What a shame he has to work so hard

Cause he's paid his dues, all he got were scars

Man, it's not about what you have or what you don't

If your shit don't make you happy, more shit won't

Maybe Its not about what ya have or what ya don't

If your stuff don't make ya happy, more stuff wont

Maybe Its not about what ya have or what ya don't

If your stuff don't make ya happy, more stuff wont

Maybe it can be enough just to be okay

Maybe it can be enough just to be okay
