Another hot cup of coffee I’m up at 5 am These old worn-out working boots Look like these beat up hands But I get up and I do it Cause people depend on me Trying to keep my faith In this American dream Paycheck’s going down Prices are going up Takes most of my money Just to fuel my pickup truck Nothin’ comes easy Tryin’ to feed my family Nothin’ comes easy For a working class like me I been doin’ time on the line Mister, you don’t understand Nothin’ comes easy Let’s put back the pieces To this broken promised land All this crazy spending I don’t understand Politicians preachin’ But it don’t ever change Same old lines and bullshit Might as well flush it all down the drain Nobody wants to say it But I’m gonna speak my mind We’re all in this together But we’re runnin’ out of time Nothin’ comes easy Tryin’ to feed my family Nothin’ comes easy For a working class like me I been doin’ time on the line Mister, you don’t understand Nothin’ comes easy Not for a man like me When your back’s up against the wall And the wolf’s knockin’ at your door Listen Mr. President Cause we can’t take it anymore Nothin’ comes easy Tryin’ to feed my family Nothin’ comes easy For a working class like me I been doin’ time on the line Mister, you don’t understand Nothin’ comes easy It ain’t easy For a working man like me Nothin’ comes easy Tryin’ to feed my family But I’m out here doin’ it on the line Mister, you don’t understand Nothin’ comes easy Easy, nothin’ comes easy
