Help me find a way or a good reason to get up out of this bed

It seems no matter what I do or how much I make it's never good enough

To face the same problems, the same

Debts and times even adds more stress

And I don't know who claimed this a simple life

Try to walk in my shoes, see through my eyes

People just don't seem real

'Cause no matter what I do or how much I make it's never good enough

And working takes up so much time and eats your life away

It's hard to hold on to what I have 'cause I keep finding myself

Five steps forward, ten steps back

Try to get ahead but keep falling off track

Running around and around again

Five steps forward, ten steps back

Try to get ahead but keep falling off track

Running around and around again

To pick up where you left off is all

You have to look forward to each day

How do you get ahead when you're behind

And the hole you dug gets deeper?

To quit trying is such a cop out, I couldn't cheat myself

And I don't know who claimed this a simple life

All the money I make barely gets me by

But I keep hanging on

'Cause no matter what I do or how much I make it's never good enough

And working takes up so much time and eats your life away

It's hard to hold on to what I have 'cause I keep finding myself

Five steps forward, ten steps back

Try to get ahead but keep falling off track

Running around and around again

Five steps forward, ten steps back

Try to get ahead but keep falling off track

Running around and around again

Oh no, no, no

Here we go once again

All the money I make barely gets me by

All the money I make is never good enough

And working takes up so much time and eats your life away

It's hard to hold on to what I have 'cause I keep finding myself

Five steps forward, ten steps back

Try to get ahead but keep falling off track

Running around and around again

Five steps forward, ten steps back

Try to get ahead but keep falling off track

Running around and around again

Oh no, no, no

Here we go once again

Oh no, no, no

Here we go once again
