lyrics

Landlord keep banging on my door
Government says “Hey buddy time to pay more, more, more”
I keep working my way up
But the world keeps trying to bring me down
Keep working my way up
But the world keeps trying to bring me down

I pound the pavement for a 9 – 5
They like what they see but they still ain’t satisfied
I keep working my way up
But the world keeps trying to bring me down
Keep working my way up
But the world keeps trying to bring me down
I feel my luck’s about to change
With this penny that I found

Everyone keeps moving forward while I’m stuck in reverse
Grass is always greener everywhere else I stare
These are the cards that I’ve been dealt so far
With an ace up my sleeve you know that I don’t care

Preacher preaching on my t.v. screen
He says “send me all your money boy ‘cause I know you believe”
I keep working my way up
But the world keeps trying to bring me down
Keep working my way up
But the world keeps trying to bring me down
I feel my luck’s about to change
With this penny that I found

My ol’ lady she’s my everything
But instead of my love she prefers diamond rings
I keep working my way up
But the world keeps trying to bring me down

I hope my luck’s gonna change
With this penny that I found
