Cm
Lay awake at night
Oh so low, just so troubled
Cannot get a job
Laid off and I am having double trouble

Chorus:
Fm7
But hey, to make it you've got to try
                                 Cm
Baby, believe me, that ain't no lie
                        G                            Fm7
Yeah, because some of this generation is millionaires
                           Cm7
I can't even keep decent clothes to wear

Laugh at me walking
And I have no place to go
Bad luck and trouble has taken me
I have no money to show

Hey hey, to make you have got to try
Baby, that is no lie
Some of this generation is millionaires
I cannot even keep decent clothes to wear

Chorus:
Lay awake at night
Oh so low, just so troubled
Cannot get a job
Laid off and I am having double trouble
