I've been working all night, working all day

Somehow the money never comes my way

I've been bustin' my ass and it ain't bringin' in the bills

The harder I work the more I find

That money I'm making ain't worth the grind

I've been bustin' my ass and it ain't bringin' in the bills

I've been putting in fifty five hours a week so you'd think I'd be doing alright

But my beat up old car has an oil leak and one burnt out headlight

The boss said "son, you've been doing great"

"Keep it up and next month I'll give you a raise"

I've been bustin' my ass and it ain't bringin' in the bills

Three months came and another three went

The only thing rising is the price of my rent

I've been bustin' my ass and it ain't bringin' in the bills

That landlord says I've gotta pay him more, cause that's just the way of it all

But my heater's been broken since the middle of march and there's something living in my wall

I'm working all night, working all day

You know that money ain't coming my way

I'm still bustin' my ass and it ain't bringin' in the bills

If things don't change I'm gonna have to quit

It just ain't worth putting up with this shit

When I'm bustin' my ass and it ain't bringin' in the bills

I'm bustin' my ass, it ain't bringin' 'em in

Breaking my back, it's all pain and no gain

I'm bustin' my ass and it ain't bringin' in the bills
