lyrics

Overworked & Underpaid

Laying in the darkness, staring at the backs of my eyelids,
Trying to catch some sleep, but my mind keeps on running and running,
And though it’s already midnight, my boss keeps on texting and calling,
What the hell could be so urgent, can any of this wait ‘til morning?

There are millions of things left on my list,
Things I will never complete,
I don’t meant to complain, but I’m spread too thin,
I can’t keep living this way.

Overworked and underpaid
(I just wanna pay the rent and bills on time, honey)
Overworked and underpaid
(I wish I could quit, but I really need the money)
Overworked and underpaid
(I’m starting to burn out and it’s really not funny)
Overworked and underpaid!

Tell me, why do we act like we’ve all got our shit figured out?
Working five part-time jobs, can we keep ourselves from burning out?
No one is satisfied, we’re constantly pushing and shoving,
We work so hard to get by, but the hustle and grind can be crushing.

Oh, they like to dangle the carrot in front of your face,
They say “just work hard enough, and you’ll be right one day!”
Competing, comparing, it’s such a dirty game,
But we wouldn’t have to play if we made a living wage….
Oh, we’re overworked and underpaid.

Overworked and underpaid
(I just wanna pay the rent and bills on time, honey)
Overworked and underpaid
(I wish I could quit, but I really need the money)
Overworked and underpaid
(I’m starting to burn out and it’s really not funny)
Overworked and underpaid! x2
