Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Working everyday just to make ends meet
Trying to keep up I’m on a losing streak
Bills piling up I can’t catch a break
I’m working so hard for such little pay
Society tells me to work hard and do more
But I’m running on empty I can’t take it anymore
Stress at it’s high my health starts to decline
America needs to get this country in line
(Pre-Chorus)
This is the American struggle
(Chorus)
Inflation’s rising
Wages staying low
America seems to be losing hope
It once was known as the land of the free
But lately it seems like America’s struggling
(Verse 2)
Watching the news it’s all a haze
Politicians talking but it’s just a craze
Promises made but nothing ever done
Living in America’s not what it once was
The food quality in this country’s so bad
Over in Europe these chemicals are banned
I feel so sick I’m just trying to survive
It’s like they’re trying to keep big Pharma alive
(Pre-Chorus)
This is the American Struggle
(Chorus)
Inflation’s rising
Wages staying low
America seems to be losing hope
It once was known as the land of the free
But lately it seems like America’s struggling
(Bridge)
Am I really asking for much
I just wanna live like they once did
Is this chemical depression or what?
Does anyone else feel like this?
(Chorus)
Inflation’s rising
Wages staying low
America seems to be losing hope
It once was known as the land of the free
But lately it seems like America’s struggling
