Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up in the dark again
Electric's been turned off
Shower's cold the milk's done spoiled
Can't get rid of this darn cough
It's Friday and I just got paid
Thought I was doing fine
Drove to the pump wasn't enough
My card still got declined
[Chorus]
Fill up my cup
It's never enough
I got these workin' blues
I ain't got a dime
Workin from 5-9
Cause I'm paying my beggar's union dues
[Verse 2]
Don't matter what day it is
The news is all the same
Inflation's high and so am I
I'm a number with no name
I wanted to take my little gal
Out on a little date
But then I had to work overtime
So I guess she'll have to wait
[Bridge]
My borrowed time is running out
In debt up to my ears
I'm gonna hit this powerball
And enjoy my golden years
[Verse 3]
I'm in the family business
Of robbing Peter to pay Paul
And when the working day is done
I ain't got nothing at all
No this ain't where I wanted to be
It's just where I ended up
With a dead end job and a dead end dream
I guess that's just my luck
[Chorus]
Fill up my cup
It's never enough
I got these workin' blues
I ain't got a dime
Workin from 5-9
Cause I'm paying my beggar's union dues
