I just want to get a little more out of my payday
Finally own a care that doesn't break down on the freeway
A little vacation
Ain't asking very much

I hate coming home to this old broken down apartment
Wish I had a dime for every hole that's in the carpet
No, I don't want it all
But I ain't got enough

All I want is a life
To drink from a glass
From a well that ain't dry
I'm sick of the crumbs
I want a piece of that pie
All I want is a life

I don't mind the hours and the pain that comes from working
But it's enough to kill me when I see my baby hurting
Wanna give her that diamond
I never got to buy

She keeps telling me that everything is getting better
But one stop up the rung and someone knocks me off the ladder
Just wanna break even
Someday before I die

All I want is a life
To drink from a glass
From a well that ain't dry
I'm sick of the crumbs
I want a piece of that pie
All I want is a life

Yeah
Yeah, oh oh oh

Yeah, all I want is a life
To drink from a glass
From a well that ain't dry
I'm sick of the crumbs
I want a piece of that pie
All I want is a life
All I want is a life
All I want is a life
