Is this the way
You want it to be
Is this the way
It' s gonna be (x2)
Oh my God Oh my God
What we gonna do
In this world
In this world we live in (x2)
I see these men
Everyday at the corner
Of Queens and Commissioner
Begging for a dollar everyday
Begging for a dime everyday
Trying to make a living
Out there
But it' s so hard (x2)
Chorus: (x2)
Begging for a dollar
Begging for a dime
One of them
Swallowed his pride
His broken pride
And came to me he said
I quit, I give up
Life is a game
What are the rules
What did I do to deserve this
Begging for a dollar everyday
Begging for a dime everyday
Trying to make a living
Out there
Chorus: til fade
Begging for a dollar
Begging for a dime
Oh-oh-oh
Begging for a dollar/dime
