the working class


The working class
Pursuing careers and wealth
The sweat and tears and long hours
Dreaming of the day to stand in joy

It is always a dream
Because it helps to push forward
On the time when the day is done
There will be something to hold

Calling it your own
You make it through
The long career in the years
Finally, you can call it home

But many will fall
Staring at the failed dreams
The prime time has gone
Leaving the old bodies to show

The age has taken its toll
The hard work going nowhere
Low pay low saving low life
What is there when age has called?

Talk is easy on saving
Alone you may stand a chance
Once you are a family man
The burden will be heavy

The saving will not be there
Even you try to save as much as you can
For a family man it is always a nightmare
Of daily expenses and loans repayments

So, we will find the crying for help
When age has fallen the body fails to function
We will be trapped in our daily lives
