lyrics

Put my paycheck in the shredder
'Cause that's how much I made
I'm overworked, and I'm tired
Put my money towards a grave
At odds with breaking even
'Cause it's all work no pay

Trying to get across town on time
But getting stopped at all the red lights
Hoping one will change for me
But I spent all my luck on self-esteem
Pushing paper
But not pulling any back
I must be living in a pile of ash
'Cause I'm burning through
All my cash

Cross my fingers for a break
Hope the vending machine won't eat my change
Turn my pockets out out out
Pick myself back off the ground
At odds with breaking even
Cause it's all work no pay

Hard to turn a frown upside down
When you're feeling inside out
Say you're enjoying something sweet
But you're wondering when the taste turns sour
Work to live on the edge
Life in a hole is a privilege
This ain't the golden age
'Cause I'm living on minimum wage

Cross my fingers for a break
Hope the vending machine won't eat my change
Turn my pockets out out out
Pick myself back off the ground

At odds with breaking even
'Cause it's all work no pay
At odds with breaking even
'Cause it's all work no pay
At odds with breaking even
Cause it's all work no pay

No Pay
