 Barely getting by     It's all taking and no giving
      G             G
 They just use your mind  And they never give you credit

 They let you dream just to watch 'em shatter
     G
 You're just a step on the boss-man's ladder
   D                A
 But you got dreams he'll never take away

 You're in the same boat with a lot of your friends
