This Is My Life Lyrics - Prayer Of A Common Man - Phil Vassar

Fat cats just getting fatter 

Linin' their pockets, what does is matter? 

All I want is an honest wage 

A piece of ground where my kids are safe 

Eighty bucks to fill my truck 

Old man telling 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 yea, this is my life 

Whoa whoa, this is my life 

Hey yea, this is my life 

Whoa whoa, yea, 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 

Pledge allegiance to my God 

Talking 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 yea, this is my life 

Whoa whoa, this is my life 

Hey yea, this is my life 

Whoa whoa, yea, and I want it back 

Well I'm just standin' on the edge of the brink 

I will not go quietly 

I'll tell you want I think, yea 

It's time to speak my peace 

The squeaky wheel always gets the grease 

One single voice don't matter 

But everybody screaming up the ladder 

Gonna get the attention of the man on top 

Make it light or shake and rock 

And it might just come a tumblin' down 

Spread all that wealth around 

That's what I'm talking about 

Hey yea, this is my life 

Whoa whoa, this is my life 

Hey yea, this is my life 

Whoa whoa, yea, this is my life 

This is my life
