All I Want Is A Life

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 comin' 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 workin',
But it's enough to kill me
When I see my baby hurtin'...
Wanna give her that diamond...
I never got to buy.

She keeps tellin' me
That everything is gettin' 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.
