The price of being free - KMurdock Music Group
I work hard
from dust till dawn
try to make a living
but it feels so wrong
every paycheck I get
they take a bite
taxes keep rising
it's an endless fight
can't afford to live
can't afford to dream
taxes keep taking
my heart keeps breaking
the price I paid for just making a living is too damn high
I'm stuck in this cycle
spinning round and round
Oh, won't somebody help me
cause I'm feeling so down
the cost of being free
it's too much to bear
the price of these taxes
it just ain't fair
I used to dream big
had plans of my own
but now I'm just fighting
to hold on to home
the bills keep piling
there's no end in sight
I keep on working
but can't see the light
every penny I earn
gets taken away
taxes keep taking
my heart keeps breaking
the price I paid for just making a living is too damn high
I'm stuck in this cycle
spinning round and round
Oh, won't somebody help me
cause I'm feeling so down
the cost of being free
it's too much to bear
the price of these taxes
it just ain't fair
with every dollar earned
they cut like a knife
the cost of struggle is my way of life
taxes keep taking
my heart keeps breaking
the price I paid for just making a living is too damn high
I'm stuck in this cycle
spinning round and round
Yeah, the price of these taxes
it just ain't fair
