It's getting harder and harder
  Getting the money you need to surviv
  Kept in line by the grocer's daughter
  Undervalued and undermined
  Your way of living, for you it has a meaning
  There is nobody that can tell you that you're dreaming
  It's your lifestyle complicated by life
  There ain't nobody that can steal it with hype, no way
  Don't let them tell you that you can't get it
  If you want it, 'cos you can
  If you try (oh yeah) but you must try
  Oh the government, some truth, more lies
  Who knows the reasons, the reasons why
  Not for the people not for you and me
  In this land of plenty there is nothing for free
  I can't believe what they will achieve
  How can you believe when you don't receive
  It's a fact, yes a fact, a matter of fact
  They look you in the face you know
  They stab you in the back
  Don't let them tell you, you can't get it
  If you want,'cos you can
  If you try (oh yeah) but you must try
