[Verse 1] I clock in at sunrise, don’t see the light 'til night Give 'em my best years, still can't make it right That check come Friday, but it vanish by noon Bills eat it whole, like a junkyard monsoon [Chorus] I’m workin’ and broke, can't get ahead Givin’ my life, but I’m drownin' in debt Landlord smilin’, while my soul just aches Workin’ and broke — how much more can they take? [Verse 2] They say, “Pick yourself up,” but I’m down on my knees Pay for my medicine, or turn on the heat? Gas tank's empty, rent just went up Can’t even afford a half-full coffee cup [Chorus] I’m workin’ and broke, just tryin’ to survive Spend my whole week, just stayin' alive This ain’t the dream, it’s a rich man’s joke Workin’ and broke — wearin' chains made of smoke [Bridge] Boss got a bonus, bought a brand new yacht I got a headache and a paycheck that’s shot Can’t call in sick, can’t take a break Even sleep don’t come, when your back’s always ache [Verse 3] Clock keep tickin’, but time don’t pay And the cost of livin'… grows more every day But I still show up, 'cause what else can I do? Ain’t lazy, just livin’ in a system untrue [Final Chorus] I’m workin’ and broke, ain't got no choice Singin’ my truth, in a tired ol’ voice If grindin' was gold, I’d be rich with no smoke But I’m workin’ and broke… Yeah, I’m workin’… and broke.
