There's a job I've been working
It pays me just enough to fuck me up
And bring me down like a house of cards
Now I'm off, now I'm hurting
So honey, could you close the blinds, and hold me tight
And keep me warm 'til the morning comes?
It pays a few of the bills
And I take a few of the pills
And wonder if I'm living
Or if I'm just alive?
It pays a few of the bills
And I take a few of the pulls
And wonder if I'm living
Or if I'm just alive?
'Cause I'm as blue as my collar
It's who I am, it's where I'm from
Way down south
Where the lowest of the lows are damned
It's a place unforgiving
A soul-sucking son of a bitch
And work seems to be all there is
It pays a few of the bills
And I take a few of the pills
And wonder if I'm living
Or if I'm just alive?
And wonder if I'm living
Or if I'm just alive?
We all wonder if we're living
Or if we're just alive?
No wonder if I'm living
Or if I'm just alive?
