Barely Breaking Even
The Universal Robot Band Lyrics

Now I.... Just got my paycheck and I'm on my way home...
I have received my payment and I am heading home.

Between the rent and phone bill... it's nearly gone... but I...
My salary is almost spent, after paying for my rent and phone bill.

Try to make ends meet that just... don't wanna meet...
I am struggling to make both ends meet, even though they never actually meet.

I can't complain but somewhere... I'm gettin' beat... now
Though I have no reason to complain, I still feel like I am being taken advantage of.

Maybe it's the system... maybe it's the cost of livin'...
There might be something wrong with the current operational procedures or it could be the high cost of living.

Every single weekend....I never know where the money goes
I always end up spending my payment every weekend, without any idea of where it all goes.

Still I'm always givin'... and I'm...
I keep sharing whatever I have, despite being in this difficult financial situation.

Just barely breakin' even....I've got to get some for myself...
I am just about able to pay for my expenses, but I need to earn more for my own good.

Just breakin' even steven...I've got to get some for myself...
I am only able to afford my expenses, but I need additional income for my well-being.

Well....I'm not a pauper and I... work everyday
I am not a destitute and I work diligently every weekday.

Somehow the cash flow seems to drift all away
Despite working hard, my earnings evaporate too quickly.

Just try to make it into... another day....
I am doing my best to just get through another day.

Long as the Lord is with me, I'll find a way... now...
I am confident that I will be able to cope as long as the divine power is with me.

Maybe it's recession....or the stocks that rise and tumble
The economic downturn or volatile stocks could be to blame for my financial difficulties.

Still, there is the question...
Despite these reasons, there is still a nagging question.

Of the bills I pay... that'll always stay...
The bills that I have to pay will always be there to ensure my troubles do not vanish.

'Til I'm down and under...and I'm......
I'll keep struggling and facing financial challenges until I am out of resources.

I just try to make it ev'ryday... long as God is with me, I'll find a way
I strive to handle every day as it comes and believe that with God's help, I can make things work.

Somehow, I'll make it through....now...
I trust that I will find a way to overcome these difficulties eventually.

Barely breakin' even...
I am barely surviving with the little I have.
