This Is My Life Lyrics

Phil Vassar

Fat cat's just gettin' fatter
Lining their pockets, what does it matter
All I want is an honest wage
A piece of ground where my kids are safe
Eighty bucks to fill my truck
Oil man tellin' me times are tough
Stickin' it to the middle class
Well, they can kiss my price of gas
It's time to speak my mind

Hey yeah, this is my life
Hey yeah, this is my life
Yeah and I want it back

Republican or Democrat
Well, I don't give a damn about that
I want a chance to do my job
To pledge allegiance to my God
Talkin' heads tryin' to buy my vote
I'm just tryin' to pay my note
I'm a husband tryin' to be a father
Raise my son and raise my daughter
Can you hear me

Hey yeah, this is my life
Hey yeah, this is my life
Yeah and I want it back

Well, I'm just standin' on the edge of my brink
I will not go quietly
I'll tell you what I think, yeah
It's time to speak my peace
Squeaky wheel always gets the grease
One single voice don't matter
But everybody screamin' up the ladder
Gonna get the attention of the man on top
Make his ladder shake and rock
And it might just come tumblin' down
Spread all that wealth around
That's what I'm talkin about

Hey yeah, this is my life
Hey yeah, this is my life
Yeah, this is my life
This is my life
