When Am I Going to Make a Living lyrics

When am I gonna make a living?

Ooh, it's gonna take a while before I give in

See the people fussing and thieving

While the sharks are wheeling and dealing

Gotta look up and tell yourself

There's no end to what you can do

They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to

This is the time

To start believing in yourself

Put the blame on no one else

When am I gonna make a living?

Ooh, it's gonna take a while before I give in

See the people fussing and stealing

Too many lies, no one is achieving

Haven't I told you before

We're hungry for a life we can't afford

There's no end to what you can do

If you give yourself a chance to prove

We're hungry but we won't give in

Hungry but we won't give in (×4)

We're hungry but we won't give in

Hungry but we won't give in (×2)

Oh, there's no end to what you can do

They'll waste your body and soul if you allow them to

Oh, start believing in yourself

Put the blame on no one else

Not gonna give in

Hungry but we won't give in

When am I gonna make a living?

Ooh, it's gonna take a while before I give in

Yes, it is, I'm sick and tired of scratching a living

I am hungry but I'm not gonna give in, no

Hungry but we won't give in (×7)

Hungry but we're gonna win
