They say it's getting harder, harder every day

More that we got to make now

     A7                  D
It's more than we got to pay

Say the grass is greener but it ain't that green

Here come the firefighters with the gasoline

How come we gotta take a bigger hit

Game is tooth for a tooth now

But I say an eye for an eye

                            A7                 D
And I keep one eye open for everything passing by

     G
They say they know not what they do

Change the range and the numbers too

Gotta get higher than we used to do
