Story Behind The Song

Worked at a convenience store and was broke, need I say more?

Song Description

Even though politicians make all kinds of election promises, the reality is that alot of people still can't make enough money to pay their bills.

Lyrics

Enough To Survive

While all the politicians are making their pleas
I'm sittin watchin TV thinkin, "What a tease"
As they say they'll help us and they throw out their lure
I find I'm in a new class called the "nouveau poor"

(Cause I'm just) just makin enough to survive
(Cause I'm just) just makin enough to survive
Don't know if I'll ever make it out alive
(Cause I'm just) just makin enough to survive

There are so many place that I'd like to go
But when I've got the time I don't have the dough
So I stay close to home or go out for a drive
I can't believe I'm making just enough to survive

(Cause I'm just) just makin enough to survive
(Cause I'm just) just makin enough to survive
Don't know if I'll ever make it out alive
(Cause I'm just) just makin enough to survive

Now don't you go believing every word that is said
Cause people will do anything to get ahead
When it comes to the power of the sopken word
I find that I've been taken by the things that I've heard

So while they all are sayin there'll be chicken in the pot
My bills are unpaid and my stove isn't hot
I'm waiting for my paycheck to help me get through
But by the time the tax is paid I got a dollar or two

(Cause I'm just) just makin enough to survive
(Cause I'm just) just makin enough to survive
Don't know if I'll ever make it out alive
(Cause I'm just) just makin enough to survive

Repeat 3rd verse and chorus
