lyrics

Work real hard at what I do
But I can’t find my feet
And I just keep on sliding on down
To the bleak end of the street
I pull myself up and and I get on going
I strive against defeat
But I just keep on sliding on down
To the bleak end of the street

No one’s gonna help me
Yeah that much is clear
No one’s gonna give me a hand
As I quickly disappear
I don’t really want for much
Take the bitter with the sweet
All I want is to make my way
From the bleak end of the street

Work real hard to do my thing
But I’m stuck here in concrete
And I just keep on sliding on down
To the bleak end of the street
I shout as loud as loud as I can
I bang on a drumbeat
But I just keep on sliding on down
To the bleak end of the street

No one’s gonna love me
Yeah that much is true
No one’s gonna hold my hand
And come to my rescue
I don’t want for all that much
Take the bitter with the sweet
All I want is to make my way
From the bleak end of the street

Work real hard at who I am
But I don’t feel complete
And I just keep on sliding on down
To the bleak end of the street

Push my way to the front of the line
But I wind up in the back seat
And I just keep on sliding on down
To the bleak end of the street

No one’s gonna hold me, yeah
Tell me I’m the one
No one’s gonna look me in the eye
And say I love you, son
I don’t really want for much
Take the bitter with the sweet
All I want is to make my way
From the bleak end of the street
