You sit in your glass tower, looking down your nose at me
Say that my friends & I are the dregs of society
So you make another million while I try to raise my children
And all of us down here are trying hard to make ends meet.
Dont you look down at me
We're trying hard to make ends meet
Dont you look down at me
We're trying hard to make ends meet
We aren't very c**tured dont know what fork to use
Our friends aren't affluent and Wall Street doesn't bring our news.
My bank account is empty, I'm far from upper crust
But if I'm in some trouble I've got people I can trust.
So you make another million while I try to raise my children
And all of us down here are trying hard to make ends meet
Don't you look down at me
We're trying hard to make ends meet
Dont you look down at me
We're trying hard to make ends meet
We all didn't have the chance for a higher education
We're proud of those that did and rose above their situation
Summer vacation for me is more work and the public pool
I can't afford your country club it doesnt make me a fool
So you make another million while I try to raise my children
And all of us down here are trying hard to make ends meet
Don't you look down at me
We're trying hard to make ends meet
Don't you look down at me
We're trying hard to make ends meet
Say that my friends & I are the dregs of society
