All my life I have been wishing
For just one chance to be in the position
Call the shots have the balls
And do not care what people are thinking
Thumb up thumb down
Without blinking
From birth the writings on the wall
It's back to reality after all
I'm just a poor guy another small fry
Trying the make a living and barely getting by
No silver spoon in my mouth
Mortgage on my house
Kids need shoes hear my hungry baby cry
Church on Sunday work on Monday
Coins in a jar saving up for someday
I can take a licking
But life's giving me an ass kicking
It don't ask for to much only what I need
Lord give me a chance help me succeed
I'm a good guy I have a big heart
Politician up there on the TV
Saying that he's here to fight for me
Rolling with the punches playing my part
Somebody tell me when is he going to start
I'm just a poor guy another small fry
Trying the make a living and barely getting by
No silver spoon in my mouth
Mortgage on my house
Kids need shoes hear my hungry baby cry
Church on Sunday work on Monday
Coins in a jar saving up for someday
I can take a licking
But life's giving me an ass kicking
This life of mine is kicking my ass
There is nothing I can do when they raise the price of gas
Somebody's getting rich and it's not me
Hey who is chopping down my family tree?
