Broke men paradise

[Intro]
(Verse 1)
Sun comes up, I lace my boots,
Coffee’s cold, and rent’s past due.
Boss man’s smilin’, says “you’re doin’ fine,”
While I’m countin’ pennies just to buy some time.

(Pre-Chorus)
Every mile I drive, every nail I pound,
Feels like I’m buildin’ someone else’s crown.

[Chorus]
I’m workin’ my ass off, payin’ my dues,
Taxman’s waitin’ with nothin’ to lose.
They take my sweat, they take my pride,
Still I clock in from nine to five.
I’m workin’ my ass off, just to stay alive,
In this broke man’s paradise.

[Verse 2]
Bills keep comin’ like a midnight train,
Dreams keep dyin’ in the pourin’ rain.
Mama says, “boy, just hold on tight,”
But the harder I work, the less feels right.

[Pre-Chorus]
The rich get richer, the rest just pray,
I got nothin’ left at the end of the day.

[Chorus]
I’m workin’ my ass off, payin’ my dues,
Taxman’s waitin’ with nothin’ to lose.
They take my sweat, they take my pride,
Still I clock in from nine to five.
I’m workin’ my ass off, just to stay alive,
In this broke man’s paradise.

[Bridge]
Maybe someday I’ll find that road,
Where hard work pays and dreams don’t corrode.
Till then I’ll keep singin’ this same old tune,
Underneath that broke man’s moon.

[Final Chorus]
Yeah, I’m workin’ my ass off, payin’ my dues,
Ain’t got nothin’ but worn-out shoes.
They take my hope, they take my time,
But they can’t take this heart of mine.
I’m workin’ my ass off, just to stay alive,
In this broke man’s paradise.
Yeah, I’m workin’ my ass off… just tryin’ to survive.
