Is this the way

You want it to be 

Is this the way

It' s gonna be (x2)





Oh my God Oh my God 

What we gonna do 

In this world

In this world we live in (x2)





I see these men

Everyday at the corner

Of Queens and Commissioner

Begging for a dollar everyday

Begging for a dime everyday





Trying to make a living

Out there 

But it' s so hard (x2)





Chorus: (x2)

Begging for a dollar

Begging for a dime





One of them

Swallowed his pride

His broken pride

And came to me he said

I quit, I give up

Life is a game

What are the rules

What did I do to deserve this

Begging for a dollar everyday

Begging for a dime everyday

Trying to make a living

Out there 





Chorus: til fade

Begging for a dollar

Begging for a dime

Oh-oh-oh

Begging for a dollar/dime
