Lay awake at night
Oh so low, you know I'm troubled
I can't keep a job
I'm laid off and I am havin' double trouble
But hey, hey, to make it you've got to try
Baby, believe me that ain't no lie
Yeah, because some of this generation is millionaires
And I can't even keep decent clothes to wear
Laughed at me walkin'
When I had nowhere to go
Bad luck and trouble's taken me
I have no money to show
But hey, hey, to make it you've got to try
Baby, believe me that ain't no lie
Yes, because some of this generation is millionaires
And I can't even keep decent clothes to wear
