Paycheck to paycheck
Saturdays are peace of mind
Summers are packed with hard work
And I'm burnt out
Paycheck to paycheck
Looking for dollar signs
Making the most of a situation
That isn't getting better
But on Saturdays, I'm light as a feather
Sleeping in, in my bed
Paycheck to paycheck
Is no way to live
