Someone Else lyrics

I try to get my foot on the ladder
try climbing up the greasy pole
one step forward, ten steps backwards
retrograde rock `n` roll

It`s so hard living on the breadline
harder still if you`re stuck below
lose your mind in the daily grind
oh what a way to go

[Chorus]
Someone else has all our money
someone else is cashing in
honesty`s no policy
for hangers on and middle men

So keep your mouth shut and just listen
everybody`s standing still
you telephone your words of wisdom
but words won`t pay my bills

You got where you are because of me
I`ll get there inspite of you
`though I have to work ten times harder
to be told I`m half as good
