Just Trying to Get By

Spent all day working my way down the unemployment page
I don't ask what I'll be doing, I just ask
How much it pays, ‘Cause I ain't got nothing to lose
I ain't got no one to blame
I've been a lost cause my whole life and there ain't nothing changed.

I-I-I-I, I'm just trying to get by, I just need a little help sometimes,
I-I-I-I, I'm just trying to get by, get by

Looking for something, out in this world and as for my
Present and future, it still look like my past
This is not what I expected
What my life would look like now,
Cause I'm just another number, I'm just another noun
I'm my age, occupation and sex
Past employment, current address
What I think the future holds, why I'm qualified to clean up your mess
The truth is there ain't much for me out there
It's hard to know where you're going
When you don't come from nowhere

I-I-I-I, I'm just trying to get by, I just need a little help sometimes,
I-I-I-I, I'm just trying to get by, get by

Isn't that what we all do,
find something to hold onto and
try-y-y-y
Isn't that what we all do,
find something to hold onto and
try-y-y-y

I-I-I-I, I'm just trying to get by, I just need a little help sometimes,
I-I-I-I, I'm just trying to get by, get by
I-I-I-I, I'm just trying to get by
